The workshop

35 years of experience. Our hands are worth trusting.

Terrazzo, stone masonry and ceramic craft passed down through the family, learned first on the Adriatic coast. We still work with a set of European hand tools tracing back to the era of ancient Rome, the only set of their kind in New Zealand.

Thirty-five years shaping stone, the last ten of them standing on our own, under a name of our own choosing. Stone Living was born, but the hands never changed. Our director trained at the Klesarska Škola Pučišća, the stone-carving school on the island of Brač, whose quarries once supplied Diocletian's Palace in Split.
