Jaksic stonemasonry on the island of Brač since 1903

Jaksic Stonemasonry Workshop and Gallery in Donji Humac shapes white Brač stone for made-to-measure tombs, stone façades and cladding, sculpture, monuments and public spaces.

The workshop is led by Dražen Jakšić, with Lovre and Dina Jakšić continuing the family practice. Each commission begins with a conversation, a drawing and a choice of stone suited to the setting, purpose and finish.

How is a made-to-measure stonework commission developed?

The process begins with its purpose and location. After reviewing photographs, the site or architectural drawings, we agree on the stone, dimensions and finish before work in the workshop and installation.

  1. Conversation and original design

    We learn about the life of the person being remembered and their family. Their character and achievements shape an original drawing and a complete new form for the tomb.

  2. Choice of stone

    We choose the stone, dimensions and surface finish to suit the drawing, the conditions at the burial plot and the details to be made.

  3. Workshop making

    Each element is cut, carved and shaped to the approved drawing. We check the proportions, joints and details that give the tomb its finished character.

  4. Trial assembly and installation

    We first assemble the tomb in the workshop so the client can see and approve the complete work. Only then do we transport it to the cemetery for final installation.

What distinguishes the Jaksic Stonemasonry Workshop and Gallery?

Jaksic Stonemasonry Workshop is based in Donji Humac on the island of Brač, where the family has worked stone since 1903. Dražen Jakšić leads the workshop, while Lovre and Dina Jakšić continue the family practice through stonemasonry, sculpture and art. The original photographs on this page show completed work by the workshop.

White Brač stone demands a careful choice of block and finish. A hand-tooled surface responds to light differently from honed or polished stone, and every detail must belong to the façade, burial place, interior or public space for which it is made.
