Welcome to the Danish Art Workshops
The Danish Art Workshops (SVFK) is an institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture, whose purpose it is to provide working facilities for particularly demanding art works.
At the SVFK it is possible for artists to do work in large formats, which their own studios or equipment cannot facilitate. Artists, designers, craftspeople, and restorers can work here on projects in art and design at the highest level.

Movements of and towards Seaweed

Marianne Johnstad-Møller’s works are inspired by the special properties and life form of seaweed. For 3 years, she has collected and photographed washed up seaweed between Løkken and Furreby in Denmark. She has researched the aesthetics and growth history of seaweed and explored its importance for the ocean and all humans.

We encourage you to search information about specific artistic techniques and materials in current and former projects within the fields of visual arts and crafts, design, and preservation. In this database we feature the artistic working process rather than the outcome in order to focus on the services we provide.

I samarbejde med billedkunstner, Lea Porsager, har Mille Ahrenkiel, arbejdet på en vævning til Den nye kirke i Ørestad. Projektet er et vævet tekstil til beklædning af seks hynder til knæfald i trækirken, tegnet af Henning Larsen Architects.
Masoud Alavi: Drawing Absence
I det lille lerværksted på Statens Værksteder for Kunst har kunstner og designer, Masoud Alavi, arbejdet med projektet Drawing Absence og overført sit formsprog til keramisk materialitet. Projektet undersøger de bevægelser, der normalt forbliver usynlige i en tegneproces - overgangene mellem linjer, løftet af pennen, de stille forskydninger i rummet.
