Why This Bristol Artist Paints on Furniture (Not Canvases) | The Handsome Vintage Story

This is Bristol Built, a documentary series celebrating the businesses, creatives, and communities that make our city unique! In this episode, we meet Victoria Richards, the artist behind Handsome Vintage. With a background in illustration, Victoria takes mid-century and antique furniture and transforms each piece into a bold, one-of-a-kind artwork. From vibrant colours to intricate hand-drawn designs, she brings new life to old furniture while championing sustainability and craftsmanship. Join us as we dive into her journey—from upcycling her first nursery furniture to building a creative business in Bristol, to why she believes vintage pieces make the perfect canvas. Along the way, we explore her inspirations, proudest projects (including Bristol’s famous Gromit sculpture!), and her vision for the future of her craft.
