Small World Gallery

Small World Gallery Home of National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson and IBISwoman Jewelry. All are made in the gallery. Sometimes these may be completed in the moment.

Visitors will find that Jim’s many explorations of global issues and landscapes begin and end at the gallery, situated on the brick Main Street of Lindsborg, a culturally rich town of 3,500 in central Kansas. On display are Jim’s large-scale prints of recent work, as well as posters and greeting cards from favorite subjects and locations. Jim, a photographer for the magazine since 1984, said, “I f

eel lucky to have a base for my travels in a small town with big creative energy.” He also teaches workshops, accompanies cruises, and delivers keynote lectures. Also in the gallery Kathy Richardson and Briana Zimmerling offer a browsable collection of antique, vintage and contemporary glass, stone and metals in their distinctive jewelry line called IBISwoman. Guests may select from earrings, bracelets and necklaces from the gallery display tables or collaborate on a made-to-order piece. Kathy Richardson said, “We also love to help our guests discover other great Lindsborg shops, galleries and attractions, as well as our favorite places across
Kansas.”

They were packed away in East Coast storage since their creation in the '40s and '50s by artisans in Europe and Japan. Now these glass beads are stars of the show in summer 2026 jewelry designs at Small World Gallery. Open 10-4 Tu-Sa in Lindsborg KS, a tidy town full of Swedish immigrant heritage and the arts.

On June 20 we're celebrating Briana's first year at the gallery helm -- and we'll have gifts!

Bri has prepared *two* big gift baskets for drawings -- one for kids and the other for adults. Names will be drawn at 2 pm.

Plus, look for little gifts like seed packets and mints -- available as long as they last.

Lindsborg glows in a pleasant summer green -- thanks to some rain plus this array of artisan-made beads. This vintage glass from Italy and Japan is positively verdant. Never been worn, this glass was created for the international fashion market of the 1940s and '50s. Feel free to browse our vintage glass designs. In the gallery 10-4 Tu-Sa and at smallworldgallery.net.

Shall we keep it cool today, everybody? Plan for short and sweet updates from Briana, Jim and Kathy. Live or later.

Once upon a time, Jim Richardson hatched a plot and sold it to the editors of National Geographic TRAVELER. He would photograph as many Welsh castles in one day as he could. That day came and, between dawn and dusk, Jim bagged 11. With Wales having more than 600 castles still standing or in partial ruins, Jim knew he’d have choices.

Last week, Jim reached into his archive and, voila, assembled nine dramatic photographs of storied Welsh strongholds. He reproduced these images in greeting cards, and they also are available to order in posters and signed/numbered prints.

The back stories are of kingdoms and conflicts, and the landscape of Wales is always stunning. Come see at the gallery or let us know how Jim can help you.

As Jim Richardson sifts his files for archiving, he finds great memories. Here is Jim with engineer Peter Nott, riding the Blaenau Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. One of the most famous of the small steam trains, it was built to haul slate from the quaries to the seaport. That nice station stop? Tanybylch.

The view from Coronado Heights north of Lindsborg can be a true summer spectacular, as photographer Jim Richardson found. Memories can be made and inspiration absorbed. If you can, please thank Coronado Heights' non-profit stewards, the Smoky Valley Historical Association. 🌻😎

Seed Savers Exchange never disappoints, and Briana found testimony in her gallery garden. Especially in predicted color. ☑️
