The workshop is 237 m2 , and the floor-to-ceiling clearance is 2.8 meters. It is suitable for both machining, assembly and testing. The workshop is normally used by two to five resident users at a given time, so you should expect to share the use of workshop facilities with others.
There are a number of specialised techniques that you will not be able to work with on the premises, but in most cases we will be able to refer you to private companies. This would be the case with for instance heat forming of acrylic, veneering, upsetting, steam bending and moulding of very large items.
For further information about the workshops, please contact the leader of the wood workshop Ingvar Rønne.

The weaving workshop is approx. 144 m2. The workshop is fitted with six looms suitable for working with relatively large items.
The weaving workshop and the yarn dyeing shop are on the same floor. The weaving workshop also holds various other kinds of weaving equipment: distaff holders, yarn reels, bobbin winders, various reeds etc. You will have to bring your own scissors, sewing materials, measuring tapes etc.
Before applying for residency at the workshop you will have to decide which kind of loom is most suitable for your project.
In some cases the workshop consultant will be able to help out with handling large looms. As there are several looms in each room, you should expect to be sharing the workshop with others.

The computer workshop is equipped with the newest facilities, and designers as well as artists, crafts men and restorers can use the workshop during their residency at the National Workshops.
The use of the workshop is directed to residents whom will only be working on projects in this workshop, - as well as other residents who need to use the computer equipment now and then. Access to the workshop is on the same conditions as the other workshops in the building. That means you need to have a key and you will receive a users manual for the equipment.
Some of the equipment, like the large scale printer and the 3D printer, may only be used by arrangement with the workshop consultant. The resident has to pay an amount for the material consumption for this kind of equipment (paper, gypsum etc).
The equipment in the computer workshop is provided with alarm and GPS.
For more information about the workshop please contact the consultant Walter Terrazos.
