During the ceramic workshop kids and their families will have the opportunity to make imprints of natural objects, like rocks, straws, and branches, in clay. They will also make their own piece of tableware and learn simple techniques of pressing the clay into the plaster moulds.
The workshop will be taught by Ada Stańczak, ceramic designer in residency in the Design Museum.
The museum provides materials, tools and firing of the pieces. Participants are encouraged to collect and bring objects from nature to make imprints in clay.
After the workshop, the works are fired and glazed. Ready items can be collected at the museum after around 3 weeks.

Because of Reykjavik pride we want to invite young and old to a rainbow- printworkshop on 4th of august from 13:00 - 15:00.

Una María Magnúsdóttir, a student in graphic design at the Rietveld academy in Amsterdam, will lead the workshop.

Participation is free of charge and everyone is welcome - lets celebrate diversity and all the colors of the rainbow!

On Sunday 6 March at 1 pm, a workshop will be held for the whole family, led by Ásthildur Magnúsdóttir. Participants are allowed to comb and spin their own thread from raw wool. Not everyone realizes what our clothes are made of, but wool and plastic are among the things used today. It will no doubt be fun to take part in a chat with Ásthildur, who is a part-time teacher at the Reykjavík Art School, where she teaches weaving and knitting, but wool is her special hobby. However, those who just want to shred and pull and handle the wool are truly welcome in the space of the Design Museum called Smiðjan.

Sunday, November 7 at 13 will be a shoebox workshop for the whole family.

Let's create a home in a shoebox that is based on people's ideas over the years about what is cozy. What were the ideas of the kids in the settlement age about what was cozy when we sat by the long fire and how do we have a nice time together today?

The ethnographer Dagrún Jónsdóttir and the designer Ásgerður Heimisdóttir will lead the workshop, which is intended for the whole family, but it would be good if people bring a shoebox with them. Learning about life during the settlement age and fun design of a home in a shoebox is the perfect recipe for a cozy Sunday.

Sunday, October 3 at 13, families are invited to take part in a design workshop at the Icelandic Design Museum. The product designers Auður Ösp Guðmundsdóttir and Embla Vigfúsdóttir lead the workshop, but the subject is food packaging. Kristín Þorkelsdóttir's design of food packaging will be examined and subsequently compared how food was stored and served during the settlement era and how we do it today and possibly in the future. In the workshop, participants go on flights and fun design experiments will be made. The workshop is free, but the Icelandic Children's Cultural Fund supports the project with the title Við langeldinn / Við eldhúsborðið.
