Songwriting, sound and maker retreats, from knitting circles to collaborative jams.
For its size, Iceland makes an astonishing amount of music and craft. A celebrated music scene, a long choral tradition and the unmistakable lopapeysa wool sweater all come from the same instinct: make things, together, through long northern winters.
A music or craft retreat plugs you into that spirit. Songwriting and sound sessions, group jams, and maker traditions such as wool knitting and textile work, all set in calm places where there is time to find your voice.
Sound and craft, alone and together
Write, arrange and record in small supportive groups, at any level.
Sound baths, choral singing and gentle voice work in resonant spaces.
Knitting circles and textile craft rooted in Icelandic tradition.
Relaxed evenings of playing together, however much experience you have.
Calm settings that invite you to make
The heart of the music scene, with venues, studios and a creative buzz.
Deep quiet and warm community, a lovely home for a small maker retreat.
Village halls and farmhouses where groups gather to play and make.
Music and craft is one of four ways to create with us in Iceland

Featured retreats are booked online, with checkout handled securely through Bókun. Custom trips start with a short enquiry.
If there is no music or craft retreat on the calendar, we can build one on request. Iceland is also a remarkable place to record: artists have made albums in Stöðvarfjörður in the Eastfjords, where an old fish factory is now a creative centre, and in studios across the country. Tell us your project, your group and your timing, and we will arrange the right place and people.
