“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.

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.

HRT - Protecting Heritage on Croatian Island of Brač
Original Title: Brački suhozidi
Jacques Franquet, comes from France. After retirement, most of the year, he lives in the interior of the island of Brac in Croatia. His main engagement is focused on protecting cultural heritage of Brač, an island famous for the it stone houses and stone structure: Brač actually lies on rocks and stones. The interior of the island is full of dry stone walls and piles – the result of the back-breaking labour of women who, over hundreds of years, gathered the rocks in order to prepare the land for the cultivation of vineyards and olive, fig, almond and sour-cherry orchards.
