Handwerk und Design

Handwerk und Desgin wird immer beliebter in Westisland und die Auswahl ist beachtlich. Das sog. “Ullarselid” (Wollzentrum)  in Hvanneyri ist einer der ӓltesten Shops in Island, hier bekommt man nur Handwerk mit Qualitӓt – gefertigt aus echt islӓndischen Rohmateralien. Das Ullarselid wurde im Jahre 1992 als Projekt  mit Unterstützung der Landwirtschaftlichen Universitӓt  in Hvanneyri, der landwirtschaflichen Gesellschaft von Westisland und der Gewerkschaft der Frauenunion in Westisland gegründet.

In allen grösseren Ortschaften findet man Handwerk in verschiedenen spezielle Lӓden,kleinen Galerien oder direkt Zuhause bei den Handwerkern selber. Die Art des Handwerks ist von Ort zu Ort verschieden, manche haben sich darauf spezialisiert Dinge aus Holz oder Glas, andere aus Lehm zu fertigen. Manches ist direkt vom Goldschmied oder Kleidungsdesigner.

Einige Galerien in abgelgenen Regionen sind auf folgender Karte eingezeichtet – West Iceland Tourist Map.
