Bristol Artists and Craftsmen

Unless you are a fan of the pared-back, bare minimum style, there’s bound to a place in your home for a little artistic flair, here and there. Of course, we’re not all blessed with the creative skill to create our own art pieces, but with Houzz you can find plenty of Bristol artists, craftsmen, potters and painters that are. If you’re planning a complete house or room renovation, it’s a wise idea to talk to an artist or craftsman in Bristol before you begin so that your artistic designs will fit seamlessly with the rest of your decor, furniture and layout. Otherwise, you could be in a position of throwing any pieces of art that you have up on the wall that won’t fit with the design, or spending an age trying to find the right piece that perfectly matches the tones and space that you have.

For which types of work would I need Bristol artists or craftsmen?

From the small to the large, the intricate to the bold, there’s a skilled artisan or craftsman that can create and supply you with beautiful artistic features to fit with your designs. If you’re after a standard, framed painting, then you can find all sorts of artists who create landscape, still life, modern, portrait or even pop art. Or you can find artists in Bristol that will create more unusual wall designs and murals, paint furniture or even floors and ceilings for you. Even the essential items, like plates, bowls, tiles, splashbacks, lampshades and headboards, can be handcrafted, painted or designed by potters and artists to give your everyday life that extra decorative flourish.

If you’re struggling to find the right crockery to fit in your kitchen or the perfect vase to use as a centrepiece on your dining room table, then you could turn to a potter. Potters can handcraft bowls, plates, vases and all sorts of other ceramic items for your home and finish them in a style that suits you – painted, patterned, glazed or white-washed. Take a look at their current style and decide whether a Bristol potter could produce items for your home that you’ll fall in love with.

It’s always fun to try your hand at a bit of arts and crafts, but there are definitely some crafts that are best left to the professional potters, craftsmen and artists. Glass, sculpture and ceramic artists will be experienced workers who have honed their craft for many years, so if you are looking for a stained glass door panel, a garden sculpture or a set of beautifully-crafted vases, then it’s time to turn to a professional Bristol craftsman, artist or potter. Why not think outside the box, too, and consider a metalwork wine rack or a metal, one-of-a-kind wall clock? Even very specialist craftsmen such as blacksmiths can be found on Houzz, so no matter how outside-the-box you think, your designs could come to life. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of artists & artisans: Interior Designers, Specialist Contractors, Lighting, Carpenters & Joiners.
