Work at Kunstprenteverket
Kunstprenteverket offers artists the opportunity to work with traditional printmaking techniques in a vibrant workshop environment as part of Landeskogen Art Sanatorium.A workshop for printmaking processes
Kunstprenteverket is a living printmaking workshop where traditional techniques, historic equipment, and contemporary artistic expressions come together.
The workshop is built around an extensive collection of printing presses, tools, and knowledge related to printmaking processes. The equipment represents a long history of print culture, but above all, it is a resource for today’s artists – a place where techniques can be explored, combined, and further developed.
Here, artists have the opportunity to work with materials and processes that require time, precision, and close engagement. The meeting between ideas, craftsmanship, and machinery opens up possibilities for experimentation and new approaches to printmaking.
Kunstprenteverket is part of Landeskogen Art Sanatorium and forms part of an environment that includes residencies, exhibitions, and artistic exchange. For artists, this means the opportunity to work in a focused professional setting, share experiences, and develop projects in dialogue with others.
Working with traditional techniques
Kunstprenteverket facilitates work with traditional printmaking techniques, where materials, craftsmanship, and artistic ideas come together.
Available techniques:
Lithography · Intaglio · Relief printing · Screen printing · Letterpress · Bookbinding
The techniques represent different approaches to printmaking – from direct work with the printing plate and press to the development of finished publications and artist books.
The aim is to keep these techniques alive through active use, allowing historical knowledge to serve as a foundation for new artistic expressions.
Part of Landeskogen Kunstsanatorium
Kunstprenteverket is part of Landeskogen Kunstanatorium – a place where artistic processes, exhibitions, knowledge, and history come together.
For artists, this means the opportunity to work in an environment that extends beyond the workshop itself. Here, there is room for concentration, exchange, and encounters between different practices, materials, and ideas.
Through the workshop, the residency programme, and artistic activities at Landeskogen, a place is created where artists can develop projects in dialogue with both history and the contemporary art field.
