Workshops and study environment on Vasagatan
On Vasagatan, workshops, studios and shared equipment support students in Fine Art, Photography and Film. Some facilities are shared across programmes, while others are dedicated studios or individual study spaces. Technical staff support artistic work through introductions, guidance and the safe, informed use of equipment as part of teaching and production.
Fine Art
Fine Art students work in studios and workshops connected to sculpture, construction and material-based processes, including wood and metal. The environment supports artistic exploration, experimentation and individual practice. Typical work ranges from testing materials and techniques to developing and finishing sculptural or construction-based projects.
Film
Film students work with moving image, sound and cinematic processes across teaching spaces, studios and technical facilities. The environment includes film and sound studios, editing facilities and screening spaces that support different stages of the filmmaking process. Work often moves from production to editing and sound work, and on to screening and presentation.
Photography: Analogue workshops
These facilities support analogue photographic processes, including darkroom work and film-based techniques. The environment supports hands-on experimentation and material-based practice. Work often moves through practical testing and process-based making, from development to print-based outcomes.
Photography: Digital workshops
These facilities support digital photographic processes, image editing and print. The environment supports different stages of photographic practice, from processing to finishing. Work often moves from image development and editing to preparing files for print output and presentation.
Visual Arts and Sloyd
We have two well-equipped workshops — one for hard materials and one for soft materials — as well as spaces for creating visual art. These rooms are mainly for students in teacher education in Visual Art and Sloyd. The environment supports practical work in materials and techniques, as well as projects connected to teaching and learning.
Equipment Checkout
Equipment Checkout is a lending service with advanced technical equipment for larger projects in film and photography. The resources are mainly for students within HDK-Valand’s education programmes in Film, Photography and Fine Art. Current students can find access and booking details in the Student Portal
