Workshops and study environment on Kristinelundsgatan

On Kristinelundsgatan, workshops, studios and technical equipment support students in Design and Craft. Some facilities are shared across programmes, while others are dedicated studios or individual study spaces. The study environment is supported by experienced technical staff who contribute to artistic processes and the safe, informed use of equipment as part of teaching and production

Textile Art

Textile Art students have access to several workshop areas for textile print, fibre work and colour processes. The facilities support the full printing workflow, with a darkroom for screen preparation, digital printing, mangle and steamer. Large print tables and a range of small and large frames make it possible to develop both unique prints and repeat patterns on fabric or paper.

Jewellery Art

Jewellery Art students have access to several workshop areas with tools and machines adapted for small-scale metalwork. You can work with techniques such as forging, soldering, grinding, enameling, etching, patination and casting. The workshop is popular, but students with specialisation in Jewellery Art have priority.

Ceramic Art

Ceramic Art students have access to facilities for working with ceramics: kilns, glazing rooms, a plaster workshop, potter’s wheels and rolling tables. A range of clays, raw materials and tools supports the full workflow. The workshops are the main workplace for Ceramic Art students. Students from other programmes may apply for short-term access, subject to availability.

Students from other programmes can apply for access to the workshop for shorter periods and subject to availability.
