About Kiddi's Workshop

Kiddi's Workshop is in an old building that was once a car repair store. Through a labor of love, Kiddi transformed the building into a home for his mineral and photo collection. He used only furniture he or his family owned or found second-hand.

Much of the stone collection comes from the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in Southeast Iceland. Kiddi has a keen eye for sculpting and finishing the stones to highlight their natural beauty.

His extensive rock collection is impressive, boasting vibrant colors and an excellent variety of stones.

A gallery at the museum sells Kiddi's photographs, along with items like cheese plates, candlesticks, and other stone-made items. For example, you can find candlesticks and cheese plates made from gabbro stones that Kiddi sourced near the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon.
