Phidias Neo Classical

Phidias Neo-Classical is a renowned Bristol stonemasonry firm steeped in a rich heritage of craftsmanship and artistry. Our story is one of generations dedicated to the timeless craft of working with stone, a tradition that flows through our family like a constant stream. Comprised of three generations of the Dring family, we carry the mantle of master stonemasons with pride, blending the irreplaceable skills honed over centuries with cutting-edge 21st-century technology.

At the heart of our studio lies a commitment to combining the best of both worlds: the timeless artistry of hand-crafted stonework and the precision and efficiency afforded by advanced machinery. We have invested heavily in state-of-the-art stone cutting, shaping, and turning equipment, enabling us to seamlessly navigate projects both grand and intimate. This sophisticated technology allows us to produce exquisite stone elements with millimetre precision, while our mastery of traditional methods imbues each piece with a unique touch of human artistry.

Phidias Neo-Classical distinguishes itself as one of the few stonemasonry businesses in the UK capable of handling large-scale stone projects. This expertise, typically associated with continental ateliers, allows us to tackle ambitious commissions with confidence and precision.
