Fyra glada människor tittar in i kameran.

We are happy to accept both Swedish and international trainees. And we will give you the opportunity to work on a broad range of objects under professional supervision.

Internship

Studio Västsvensk Konservering offers a thorough training in theoretical and hands-on conservation for students doing their conservation/restoration education at university level, for shorter or longer periods. We will give you the opportunity to work on a broad range of objects under professional supervision and we provide an exciting work-and-learn environment in all departments of the studio.

Our specialists have long experience with conservation of cultural heritage objects, buildings and environments in the following fields: Paper and books, paintings and painted objects, archaeological and marine archaeological materials, textiles, metals stone, ceramics and glass, wood and furniture.

Both Swedish and international students are welcome and we have had the pleasure to host among others Norwegian, Finnish, French, English, German, American and Japanese students in the past. Read more about their SVK experience below.

"Working in such a cohesive environment also allowed me to gain experience in team driven exercises on multi-disciplinary objects."

(Master Degree student, Scuola di Alta Formazione e Studio “Opificio delle Pietre Dure”, Florence, Italy)
 

"I have learned active conservation, preventive conservation, condition reporting and packing - all valuable knowledge to my future career as a conservator. My supervisor knew how to balance supported and independent work, something that helped me grow more confident and develop independent thinking."

(Master student in Archaeology and Conservation, University of Oslo, Norway)
 

"The staff are very nurturing and supportive of interns, with plenty of opportunity to develop practical skills. I have had a brilliant time at SVK and have learnt a lot. I leave with very fond memories."

(Graduate Diploma student, Conservation, University of Lincoln, England)
