Listvinahúsið is first of its kind in Iceland, founded in 1927.  Three generations of artistic potters, the youngest, Guðmundur Einarsson, now owns the workshop and makes his unique handmade ceramic art.

Listvinahúsið is the oldest workshop in Iceland, founded in 1927 by the artist Guðmundur Einarsson from Miðdal (http://www.middalur.com/).  At first, Listvinahúsið was situated on Skólavörðuholt, close to where Hallgrímschurch is now, but in 1964 it moved to Skólavörðustígur 43 where it is still today.  In 1955 Einar, son of Guðmundur, took over the workshop.  He changed it’s style a little bit – the ceramics became modern in shape and color.  In 2004 Guðmundur, son of Einar, bought the workshop, after working beside his father for years.  Guðmundur creates beautiful and unique ceramics – which all have a clear connection to Iceland, and it‘s nature.  F.ex. does Guðmundur use lava to decorate many of his pieces and makes stunning Vikings.
