  • Best Experience Ever

    We visited as a family and this was one of the highlights of our time on Brač. The kids absolutely loved it — being able to actually work with stone and create something themselves was both fun and educational.

  • Predivno iskustvo koje ostavlja urezana sjećanja u srcu.
    Željka, fantastična osoba, puna dobre energije i naprednih ideja, uvela nas je svojom pričom u svijet kamena koji je nerazdvojan element i tradicija cijelog otoka.

  • Ein wirklich toller Ort um alles über die Geschichte und das Handwerk der Steinverarbeitung zu lernen. Es gab zuerst eine Tour mit der Historie des Handwerks plus eine Führung durch den alltäglichen Betrieb. Danach ging es selbst mit Hammer und Meisel an den Stein. Kameni ist nicht nur eine tolle Lehrerin auch konnte man ihre Leidenschaft für die Verarbeitung jeden Moment fühlen. Vielen Dank von ganzem Herzen, eine absolute Empfehlung wenn man in der Nähe ist!

  • Remek program kis gyerekkel is!
    Nagyon kedves házigazda! Érdekes volt látni a műhely bemutató alatt, hogy lesz egy darab kőből műtárgy. Utána mi magunk is megpróbálkozhattunk ezzel a mestersèggel.
    Érdemes kipróbálni!

  • An amazing experience!

    An interesting visit to a stone mason’s workshop, where Željka – the stonemason, guided us through different stone-carving techniques used in her workshop, from ancient methods to the most modern ones.
    The tour was followed by a practical part where we made our own small stone souvenirs. It was fun & quite challenging and made us appreciate even more all the stone products you find in the shop. In the end, you feel proud of creating something out of stone with your own 2 hands.
