The Skrimslis "Create Your Own Monster" Experience

During our Icelandic adventure, we stumbled upon a unique and enchanting activity at Skrimslis, a charming workshop located just a short drive away from Reykjavik city center. Here, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature and the delightful melodies of local birdlife, we embarked on an unforgettable creative journey. Located next to the ocean views and the peace that surrounds the place just makes it more  magical. 

We were invited to unleash our inner artist and craft our very own Icelandic monster using traditional Icelandic wool and materials. Led by expert instructor, we gathered in the cozy workshop , eager to delve into the age-old traditions of Icelandic monsters. We shared stories and spoke about life in Iceland which is an added value if you want the output from an insider.  With guidance from our skilled hosts, we immersed ourselves in the creative process, selecting vibrant hues of wool and carefully shaping our monsters with precision and care. As we worked, laughter filled the air, and a sense of camaraderie blossomed among us, united by the shared joy of creation.

Throughout the approximately one-hour workshop, we marvelled at the intricate artistry and craftsmanship that define Icelandic culture, gaining newfound appreciation for the time-honoured traditions passed down through generations. Surrounded by the warmth of Icelandic hospitality, we felt a deep connection to the land and its rich folklore.

As the workshop drew to a close, we proudly admired our handcrafted masterpieces, each one a unique reflection of our individual creativity and imagination. Our time at Skrimslis was not just a creative activity but a journey of discovery, connection, and cultural immersion. As we continue our Icelandic adventure, we carry with us fond memories of laughter, friendship, and the joy of bringing our imaginations to life in the heart of Iceland's enchanting landscapes. 

With our handmade monsters in hand, we bid farewell to Skrimslis, grateful for the opportunity to carry a piece of Iceland home with us. As we reflected on our time in this enchanting land, we realized that our monsters were more than just souvenirs; they were tangible reminders of the memories we had created.

Indeed, our experience at Skrimslis is not only for kids but it  also provides a space for sharing and bonding among friends, family, or with a partner. It was a testament to the power of creativity and connection, reminding us of the importance of embracing new experiences and forging lasting memories with loved ones. As we journeyed onward, our handmade monsters served as cherished mementos of our Icelandic adventure, evoking fond memories of laughter, friendship, and the beauty of Iceland's landscapes.
