A truly Icelandic experience

It's was an amazing experience and we were super happy to have Alma sewing the monsters for us. The monsters are adorable and definitely unique icelandic souvenirs !

Skrimsli!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to visit Iceland snd see northern lights and do all the bucket list stuff. Having said that, the skrimsli workshop might end up being the most memorable part of the entire trip. This would be my number one suggestion for anyone looking for a fun, creative, unique activity to do in Iceland. Can't thank her enough for her kindness and welcoming energy and allowing us to make memories and Skrimslis!

Unique, creative, awesome, Skrimsli!

The Skrimsli workshop is the best way to take home an unique Icelandic souvenir! So many choices to make your own little monster. Don’t forget to read the book also!

Capturing the essense of someone

This was a really cool workshop. Customizing a gift/souvenier for my daughter was neat. I got to make something for her that was uniquely "her".

I only have one regret...

and that is that I didn't make one for myself! My parents, my husband, and our three kids all went today after a quit terrible flight from the US to Iceland. We were all particularly exhausted but I had booked ahead with Alma for these because I thought the kids would really love it. They were very tired and unenthusiastic when choosing all the parts for their custom wool monsters, but when we got back to the hotel, that's ALL they talked about! The blue lagoon? Not a peep. All the sight seeing? They don't remember half of it. But they have named their monsters, given them personalities, had them sing songs together, and are currently tucking them into bed to watch movies with them. I can't say enough good things about this visit! I'll have to come back to get one for myself next ❤️

The Skrimslis workshp - Do it!

I simply loved it! I saw the Skrimslis on Instagram and fell in love with them. The workshop was an exceptional experience at the end of a wonderful holiday. Alma is a lovely host and the location is great with an awesome view. We had a lot of fun and I am super-happy with our little monsters.

Unique and fun - make your own Icelandic Monster!

We saw the Skrimslis (meaning "Monsters" in Icelandic we were told) at the airport and thought they were so fun and unique to Iceland. When we googled for more information, we saw that we could make our own in the Workshop. We had a lot of fun making our own monsters and a treasure from our trip to Iceland for me, my daughter and her best friend. I carried my monster home with its top peaking outside my backpack and got a lot of giggles from little ones at the airport.

Perfect and fun experience

Perfect and fun experience for our son's birthday. He adores the Skrimlis! Doing them ourselves was a good choice. Thank you Alma for having us, we had a great time at your lovely place!

Fun experience for all ages

My 11-year old and I had a great time making and naming our unique skrimslis! What a fun experience to start off our trip to Iceland.

So glad we made our Skrimslis!

Loved it! Alma was so warm and friendly. She offered us a coffee on arrival, which was lovely. The whole process was seamless and smooth. We made some to take back to our kids in Australia as a nice reminder of our time in beautiful Iceland. Thank-you Alma for welcoming us into your beautiful studio.

Icelandic Monsters!

This was such a fun, creative unique souvenir! My mom and I booked the workshop and it was nothing less than amazing. Alma is so friendly and kind and you can customize your skrimsli to fit your style! Adorable workshop right on the beach, would definitely recommend for any age!

Uniquely Icelandic Cultural Activity

The Skrimsli Workshop is a MUST on your visit to Iceland! It’s a fun, interactive, creative way to learn about Icelandic folklore while making a one of a kind souvenir. Fun for all ages!

If You Think You Won't Be Into It, You'll Love It Still

Alma is the sweetest woman! Her English is perfect! Her workshop is a little standalone room in the back of her house overlooking the water. It may seem like a child’s activity, but it’s just as much fun for adults! My parents (62) and I (~26) had so much fun. It was not a lot of waiting, just a lot of doing. There were so many options, but not enough to make it overwhelming! Alma will just talk to you as she zips together your creature. The view out the HUGE wall of windows in out onto the most beautiful shore. Additionally, I am asthmatic and Autistic. The workshop was great on my lungs and the perfect amount of sensory input!

Unique and Fun Experience

I found the Skrimslis workshop in my Facebook Iceland travel group. I had been looking for something fun and a unique souvenir to bring home with me. This was the absolute perfect activity! Alma was very kind and runs such a wonderful business. The workshop itself is inviting and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommending booking, you won’t regret it!

Loved Our Experience!

My sisters and I made Skrimslis on our last day in Iceland. It was the perfect way to end our trip.
Alma was so kind and welcoming. This is such a great family business with a great story. We have the perfect keepsake to remember our trip. I can’t recommend this experience enough! It’s a must do in Iceland.

Great workshop with a view

We made our Skrimsli "Bobby" during our honeymoon in Iceland. It was really great! The surroundings are just beautiful and we had plenty of time to choose all the pieces. A truly unique souvenir and a great workshop.

A unique must-do experience in Iceland!

After seeing a video of someone else’s experience on TikTok, my husband and I decided we HAD to come here whilst on our honeymoon.

Alma was so wonderful and welcoming, very interactive and asking us questions…it made the experience very personable. The Skrimsli making was so much fun, my husband and I each made one for each other. Alma told us about her craft as we created our monsters, and how each Skrimsli is one of a kind, even noting how every single part used in the monster making will never be the same each time. You can know for sure that this business truly cares to make their craft one of a kind!

The whole experience was special and we loved the one-on-one interaction. This is such a special place and I hope it continues to have success as it grows and becomes more popular! Everyone should make a Skrimsli to add to their family, we already treasure ours and will always think of Alma and Iceland when we look at them.

Thank you, again, Alma! (:

One of the best things to do in Reykjavik

We did the workshop on our last evening in iceland. Alma is just one of the nicest and purest people ever and the experience was so much fun. Plus you get a great souvenir to take home with you. You can choose every single little detail of your skrimsli which is really great and gives the experience a personal touch. I recommend this to 1000%!!!

Best activity in Iceland

Alma is just amazing and this is for sure a unique and personal experience.
You get the Icelandic experience from a local. ONLY top quality materials with lots of options to get creative.

Had an amazing time for sure.

The best time!

This was one of the highlights of our Iceland trip. My husband and I made our own adorable Icelandic wool monster and already have them proudly displayed in our home. So much better than a typical souvenir and even better that we created them. The setting of the workshop is lovely, Alma is lovely, and her pooch Molly is the cherry on top. Would give this 10 stars if I could!

My very own unique Skrimsli monster

The host was very welcoming, the workshop had a gorgeous view, and most importantly, the process of creating the skrimsli was so much fun. There’s endless unique combos you can create with different colors, textures, sizes, and the host helps to navigate you through the selections. I’m very happy with my monster and had to take home another little one for his friend!

Make your own "Skrimsli", a true Icelandic experience"

My 7-year old loved this workshop! The "Skrimsli '' is a toy monster made from Icelandic wool leftovers. You can buy your "Skrimsli" in selected stores across Iceland. I bought our first "Skrimsli" at "The Handknitting Association of Iceland", at Skólavörðustígur ("rainbow street" in Rekyjavík). We gifted it to our youngest son on a previous trip to Iceland and he just LOVED IT!  I was trying to find out more things about the Skrimslis and I realized that he could make his own, using his imagination! This seemed a great idea and we decided to book the workshop :)
Alma Björk, the artisan and mastermind behind the Skrimlies, was super nice and helped our son to choose the body parts: trunk, feet, hands, horns/ears, hair, eyes, and mouth and then sewed everything together for an outstanding finish! 
My son loved the whole experience and his new friend has been beside him since then! 
The workshop was held in a lovely little cottage by the sea shore in Álftanes, a charming village in the outskirts of Reykjavík. We used public transportation (Strætó buses) to get there and it was super easy, fast, and affordable. We used the Klapp App to plan and play for our trip. Bus #23  (Ásgarður - Álftanes) gets you almost there, from the bus stop at Höfðabraut it's just a short walk in a pretty neighborhood. 
As a side bonus, we really enjoyed visiting Álftanes, a quiet village located in a gorgeous peninsula. This is also where the official residence of the President of Iceland is - Bessastaðir - and there is also have a great swimming pool to spend time with the kids.
I definitely recommend this experience and we will come back to make more Skrimslis to add to our family!

Loved it!!!

Had a last rainy day in Reykjavik before flying back to italy and wanted to do something fun.
I saw rhe little wool.monsters all arpund Iceland during my roadtrip and wanted to have my customed one.
Alma the owner was super nice, the location is stunning and super cozy.
Highly recommended especially if you're with kids and want ti spend some creative time to do something unique.



Karen H

Incredible, unique experience. Highly recommended

My daughter and I have been fans of the Skrimslis since we saw them at Þingvellir a few years back, so much so that we have picked one up on every subsequent trip. So, when I saw that Alma was opening up a workshop I absolutely had to book and we were not disappointed! Alma was very accommodating, warm, friendly and patient while we were deciding the components of our Skrímsli. We heard tales of the Skrímsli while we were there and we were made to feel very welcome. This was such a fun and unique experience and I highly recommend it for all ages 😊

A Wonderful Workshop for the whole family

PERFECTION! Our family (2 adults, one 3 year old) had a wonderful and unique experience at Alma's workshop designing our own Skrimsli dolls. Alma is a warm, kind, and flexible host and the physical space of her workshop is serene and cozy (even overlooking a cute little beach!). My little one was able to fully participate in the project, from choosing the design and materials, to "unfolding"/unveiling the doll after she watched Alma sew it, to stuffing the doll full of wool. The materials are all high quality, like local wool. This experience was so fun that my husband, at first just a spectator, ultimately decided to join the fun and make his own Skrimsli! My daughter is immensely proud of her work and the Skrimslis have not left her side since the day we made them in the workshop. More broadly, this is a perfect cultural counterpoint to all of Iceland's fantastic nature experiences. It is also as a convenient "before airport" activity for those with later in the day flights home, in terms of location and time commitment. We departed with not only a high quality, unique souvenir but also wonderful family memories made at Alma's workshop. We cannot wait to return and create some more members of our Skrimsli family on our next visit to Iceland.

I joined the skrimsli workshop and enjoyed every moment. It was the most cosy place with a fantastic view. It was an unique experience with fantastic and kind peoples to help and give inpiration.
Eventhough the workshop is a new thing there is still a lot of pattern to choose between, and a lot of different colors and forms that makes your skrimsli unique.
While you take time choosing the pattern you get to know a lot more about the history behind the skrimslis, the company and how it all started.
I can highly recommend it, not only for families but also for everyone who wants a cosy time making something very icelandic and unique and the best time while staying in Iceland

May 2023

Michael Jahn

We found out about the Skrimslis by chance in a local souvenir-store in Reykjavik. Later on we saw that the company offered workshops, in which you could apparently make your very own customized little monster.
Despite us being the first customers at the new company residence, the service provided was outstanding. It is a very unique experience, starting with the selection of the fabric and parts, ending with the little monster itself. All the while you get to learn more about the company, the process, the idea and get a glimpse into icelandic every-day-life.
Highly recommended trip, especially for families!

We had such a fun time making Skrimslis during our honeymoon in Iceland and it's so nice to have brought back a personalized souvenir from our trip! We would definitely recommend this activity to any group as it is fun for all ages.

Steve mccauley

Was a fun way to bring home a personalized keepsake from our Trip to Iceland, with all the 10-12 hour day trips this gave us a break to relax while still taking in Iceland and it's scenery, great for all ages (and you don't need to know how to sew (-:)

Angelique Stanford

We loooovvveeddd making our dolls.

Jillian Mallory

Amazing session! We made 3 monsters and had a fantastic time. Definitely a highlight for our trip.

Yaël Chelli-Deville

Such an amazing and unforgettable experience!There, you can create your own Skrimsli step by step with their creator at her workshop and this is just fantastic! You can give birth to your monster 👹 and make it in your own way, just like you want it to be.Moreover, the creator is real nice and friendly and she can help you whenever you need her.I strongly recommend you this wonderful experience, that gives a great souvenir from Iceland 🇮🇸

Ant and Nat Armendariz

Our Icelandic friend recommended the Skrimsli workshop to us because we happened to land in Iceland on our son’s 6th birthday, and we wanted to do something special and unique. Alma was awesome, and the workshop location was beautiful.

It’s so cool and special to see the little monsters in the shops around town and know that we got to create our very own custom one.

Jason Allison

My wife found Alma’s creations and booked us a session. She was an awesome host and our Skrimslis are the perfect memento of our trip to Iceland. They’re sitting now on our bed. When we pass them we can’t help but smile.

Travis Jackson

Super fun, unique experience that gives you a great, unique souvenir. Highly recommend.

Marta gil

Great experience! Totally worth the trip!

Aaron Abraham

My husband and I were seeing these cool pieces of art at various shops around Iceland. When I saw an ad for an experience to let us make our own! We got to go to the workshop and give birth to our very own Skrimslis! The experience was great, and our host was so welcoming. Genuinely, could not have had a better time! If you’re in Iceland, setup a workshop and make your very own monster!

m puck

We had so much fun with this workshop as an adult family of 5. Alma was such a gracious host and the setting was so peaceful and beautiful. What a fun unique Icelandic experience!

Sally Frith

Great way to make your own personal souvenir from Iceland. Alma is a wonderful host and visitors of all ages will have a magical experience in a beautiful setting, cannot recommend this workshop highly enough 😁

Molly Osadjan-Rudolf

Alma’s workshop was so fun! We had a great time learning more about her business and constructing our monsters.

October 2024This is an easy, fun activity and a unique souvenir option. It’s good for all ages. It’s also a great gift option for someone. We took our three kids (20 months, 4 and 8 yo) to Alma’s workshop to make skrimslis. The kids were a bit overwhelmed by all of the options and process at first, but once they got into it they had so much fun being creative and stuffing their little guys full of “dessert” (stuffing). We were able to make four in an hour, even with our slow start. Alma was incredibly kind to us and provided a fun and safe environment for all. We were at the end of a long international trip and had just come from an emergency hospitalization with one of our kids and needed to change our original booking. She was very accommodating and helpful. The kids had fun walking the shoreline and throwing rocks into the water. The workshop is in a beautiful setting. A little sign out front to help direct people to the back would be helpful, but I understand the workshop is in a private neighborhood and may not be feasible. The kids wished they could have stuffed the feet and/or arms, but that isn’t an option.

Taylor Christian

We had such a great time at the skrimslis workshop! The whole experience was wonderful, our kids had such a great time and we felt so welcomed. A MUST do if you are in the Reykjavík area!

Michele DeAngelis

Such a lovely way to spend a few hours. We went for my 11-year-old crafting child, but the adults had fun too! Alma was so welcoming, and offered us drinks while we worked. She was happy to let us explore the workshop, and offered a guiding hand when we asked for it. Her workshop is a lovely, short drive from Reykjavik and the souvenir Skrimslis are a perfect reminder of our time in Iceland.

Kathleen Hell

Adorable workshop in such a peaceful location! Alma was so personable and made this such a fun experience for my kids. They were able to personalize their own monsters and walked them through the steps and explained the story. The monsters turned out so cute and we had to pick up some keychains as well. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much! Katie, Adalyn and Mason

Marnie Greene

My sisters and I made Skrimslis on our last day in Iceland. It was the perfect way to end our trip.
Alma was so kind and welcoming. This is such a great family business with a great story. We have the perfect keepsake to remember our trip. I can’t recommend this experience enough! It’s a must do in Iceland.

Halldóra Jóhannsdóttir

Such a fun experience tp enjoy with the family! 10/10 would recommend to anyone travelling or living in Iceland.

Cayla McDonald

This was such a wonderful and refreshing experience! We’d seen Skrimslis in stores and loved them, but for about the same price you can make your own here! The experience was so well worth it and we had a blast in Alma’s adorable and welcoming studio. It is a memory and an experience we will cherish forever—and we have our Skrimslis to help remind us (photos of our cute little creatures attached—Alma helped make our dream of a cat Skrimsli come to life as well. Amazing!)!

Suzanne Sigurdsson

The Skrimslis is a truly wonderful and authentic experience in Iceland. All of the popular sites seem crowded and impersonal nowadays. I have lived here for 25 years after marrying an Icelander. We wanted to do something special in terms of souvenirs for family visiting from the U.S.. It ended up a true adventure for both my husband and myself. Alma has created a cozy, well organized family space with beautiful views. Her young son even helped out. It was so much fun to help and learn more about the culture I have lived in for so many years. The added bonus were the finished products. After years of buying the same impersonal souvenirs, I finally found a truly unique cultural gem.

Here are reviews gathered from Tripadvisor, Google & Airbnb Experiences

We loved our Make a Monster visit. A great way to start our trip!

Book this experience! Alma is a delight and makes all aspects of the experience easy-going, allowing for creativity and joy to take over. My mother, my son and I enjoyed learning about Skrimslis (Icelandic monsters) and how Icelandic wool is unique while we selected the materials for our creations. We will cherish our new creations and the memories of making them with Alma!

My husband and I brought our daughter to celebrate her graduation from high school.

My children and I had a magical experience with Alma, creating monsters on our last day in Iceland. It was the absolutely most PERFECT way to end our trip. Alma was a gracious host/teacher - she shared stories of her life/living in Iceland and was happy to share as much as we had questions and allow for quiet for us to sink into this fun experience as a family. Her studio is located in a part of the area we hadn't visited so it gave us a nice reason to see more of Iceland. A quick 15 minute drive from our downtown Reykjavik Bnb. Thank you Alma for your time

Olivia - New York, NY

One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Iceland was spending time with Alma at her beachside workshop. The setting alone is stunning—right on the sand, with ocean views that made the whole experience feel peaceful and almost magical. Alma welcomed us with so much kindness and ease. She helped our 2- and 3-year-old make their own little monsters out of wool, and it was such a joy to watch. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and so good with the kids—never rushed, always encouraging. Our toddlers were totally engaged, and we could tell they felt proud of what they created.

Meredith - Bowdoinham, ME

Fantastic. Our family (three kids ages 5, 9, and 12) enjoyed this workshop on a sunny afternoon. It was a highlight of our trip. Alma was so kind and patient with our kids as they made the “difficult” decisions of how best to construct their skrimslis. We also enjoyed the personal experience of chatting with Alma and learning a bit about life in Iceland. We left with fabulous memories and truly unique keepsake souvenirs.

This is an absolute MUST-DO — and not just for the kiddos! This was our third trip to Iceland, and we all agreed this wool monster-making experience with Alma was a highlight we’ll never forget. Our daughters, 9 and 6, were completely captivated by the process, and honestly, so were we. It’s a truly unique, hands-on activity that’s perfect for all ages. Alma is incredibly engaging, welcoming, and talented. Her shop is beyond precious, set on a stunning body of water, and just a short, easy drive from Reykjavik. The space is spotless, safe, and thoughtfully arranged — she even had coffee, water, and drinks for the kids, which was such a lovely touch. We were also so impressed to learn that Alma uses sustainable fabrics in her monster creations, which she sells in 15 shops across Iceland. Her operation is nothing short of inspiring, and we feel truly honored to bring home our own handmade Icelandic wool monsters. If you’re visiting Iceland, don’t miss this magical experience — it’s t

A magical and unique experience creating my own Icelandic wool monster. The workshop is so cute and the location on the water is superb.

I recently attended Alma’s wool monster making workshop, and it was an absolute delight! The experience was both fun and incredibly creative. Alma was a fantastic host—patient and encouraging, making sure everyone felt comfortable with the process. The range of colors available was impressive; it felt like stepping into a rainbow! Alma also provided a charming book filled with various characters to inspire our creations, which added an extra layer of excitement to the workshop. This workshop is perfect for both adults and kids, making it a wonderful family activity. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore their artistic side while having a great time. Don’t miss out on the chance to create your own wool monster!

I wish this had popped up during a Google search of things to do in Iceland earlier. Thankfully, we came across the AirBNB recommendation and were able to book a time before the end of our trip. These adorable creatures can be found in several shops across Iceland, but nothing compares to creating a unique version yourself!!! The location is stunning, the studio is warm, inviting and so precious, the process is fun and engaging, the concept is sheer genius and the whole experience was just so delightful. I left with the BEST souvenirs and a story to tell. I cannot recommend this more- to adults and families with children!!!

We highly recommend! Our 7 and 5 year olds loved making their own wool monsters. It’s clear they will be treasured keepsakes. Skip the souvenir shops—Alma has you covered!

Highly recommended experience only minutes from Reykjavík. My husband and I had such a great time making our own Icelandic wool monsters. Alma was an excellent host and her workshop has everything needed to create any fuzzy creature you can imagine. The view from her property was gorgeous, and we enjoyed the time spent with Alma. Our Skrimslis are by far our favorite souvenirs from our trip to Iceland.

This was such a great way to start our trip! Our plane landed just a few hours before we arrived at Alma’s idyllic workshop. The view is incredible, and she’s a lovely host. I’m traveling with 3 friends, all of us big people, and we were perfectly comfortable in her small studio. Choosing the components of our little Skrimsli was fun, and the finished products are so charming. A great souvenir for kids or adults!

Alma was warm and welcoming, and the workshop was a delightful space right by the beach! We got to choose all the pieces to make our monsters and it was really fun and personal. Alma sewed them up for us and let us stuff them ourselves. It was a really fun activity, and we love our unique monsters!
