About

The Artisan Painter is a painting & decorating company based in Glanville’s Wootton near Sherborne in Dorset. My father Roy Clements was a professional painter for over 30 years and I have kept the trade in the family. I served an apprenticeship with my father and have since been painting professionally in the trade for over 20 years.

I have a degree in Design from Goldsmiths University and also an HND in Photography from The Arts University in Bournemouth. Working in design and photography I have developed a keen eye for colour and interior design. The Artisan Painter honours the old traditions of fine brush skills, wallpapering and painting techniques. I take great pride and put a lot of love into my work. The finish is paramount for me and this involves a great dedication to the initial preparation before the painting even commences.

Although The Artisan Painter takes on any type of painting project, I specialise in painting heritage properties having had extensive experience painting with Limewash and highly breathable paints.

Interior Painting

I take on interior painting projects of any size and call in for help from a select team of professional painters for larger jobs. I also offer fine furniture painting and can offer any paint techniques.

Exterior Painting

I offer exterior property painting from May onward to avoid any interruptions from the weather. I can take care of the organisation of scaffolding, and can provide a free quotation for this.

Wallpapering

I also offer a professional wallpapering service and can provide a stunning choice of wallpapers from my stockists. Wallpapering can really add something very elegant and unique to a room.

The eco-friendly painter

The Artisan Painter is an eco-friendly painting and decorating company, sourcing environmentally friendly paints and materials. I naturally use the regular household names like Dulux, Farrow & Ball and Sanderson, but I highly promote the use of petrochemical free eco paints. I mainly use Earthborn clay paints, Little Greene and Aglaia. Please read this short article and see my eco paints page for more info on this very important subject, making both the home and workplace safer for family health and the environment.

I source my wallpapers from Cole & Sons, Little Greene and Osbourne & Little. Feel free to get in touch to see some samples.

Please view my portfolio of recent work to see some of the stunning old farmhouse properties, barn conversions and large scale projects both I and my team have created. Please do feel free to call and organise a free consultation and estimate for your property. I can offer invaluable advice on the right paint and approach to your particular application.

I look forward to hearing from you…
