The Stonemasons of Pučišća, Croatia
On the Croatian island of Brač, made famous by a triangular beach called Zlatni Rat, there is a picturesque stone village called Pučišća.
In 1909, a school was founded in Pučišća to train professionals in the fine art of stonemasonry - an art practiced on Brač for millennia. The school, known locally as the Klesarska Škola, is a great educational opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to learn how to produce high-quality, hand-crafted work in a world increasingly driven by cheap mass-production.
Join Tricia and me as we explore this quaint village and witness the stonemasons in action as they strive to perfect their craft.

“Listen to the stone” (HRT – Croatia)
On the Island of Brač, in a little town called Pučišća, Marko is building his family house. He is doing it in his spare time, making everything with his own hands out of stone from the island’s quarries. He is using the old Roman style that he has learned in the unique island’s Stonemasonry School. Marko is an expert in restoration and works as a constructive engineer in a stone masonry workshop that deals with extracting, processing and installing stones. Modern times brought new technologies that help him to remain competitive in his line of work. Still there are some things that no machine can do and then all you have to do is just listen to the Stone.

Pučišća - Island of Brač - Croatia
The town and harbour of Pučišća lie on the northern coast of the island of Brac, at the end of a deep bay between the towns of Postira and Povlja. The area is known for its stone-cutting tradition and stone from the local quarries was incorporated even in the walls of the White House in Washington. Enjoy an unforgettable stay in the lovely small town and bathing in the crystal clear waters of the wonderful bay.

Mata CROata: Od klesarske škole na Braču do obnove zagrebačke katedrale
Naracija priloga: Kristina Šerić
Snimanje i montaža: Andrea Solar
Mate Turić akademski je slikar iz Vrbovca, poznatiji kao Mata CROata. Stručno obrazovanje započinje u klesarskoj školi na Braču nakon koje sudjeluje u obnovi sjevernog tornja zagrebačke katedrale i stječe prva radna iskustva.
Mate ostaje prepoznatljiv po rukopisu u kamenu i izradi jedinstvenih jedara od bračkog kamena. Izlagao je diljem Hrvatske i u inozemstvu, a volio bi upisati doktorat, možda i u Aziji. Ako autor vjeruje u svoj cilj doći će do njega. Jedino se ne može znati koliko će za to vremenski trebati, smatra kipar.
