Company Description

The man's wish to shape stone, to cut signs and symbols in it is as old as the man himself. Our ancient forefathers dug cattle feeding and watering troughs in stone, built water cisterns, dug sarcophagi and shelters. By digging of holes for wooden wedges, the man started collecting stone. 
The collected blocks were then shaped and broken into smaller pieces by the technologies available. 
From the earliest times the man transferred to stone and created in stone all his inner humours, his religious believes and images of his deities. Such endeavours are evident at numerous sites of stone palaces, sanctuaries and other cult objects, because stone is steady and, therefore, has preserved for us many testimonies of the past, has became a book for us to learn from. 
Technology and tool advancements made stone treatment, stone dressing and sculpture develop as well. The present-day technological achievements enable cutting and treating of stone to the man's wishes. 
Without sensitive approach to stone, without listening how it sounds, without tracing its veins, there is no true stone dressing. 
The tradition of treating of stone has been preserved at Brač by its transferring from father to son. An important role in preserving this tradition has been played by the stone-dressing school in Pučišća, the only such school in Croatia, as well as by the practical stone-dressing training performed for half a century now in the Jakšić stone-dressing workshop.
