South London art collective Intoart works with people with learning difficulties to help them achieve equal recognition in the world of contemporary art and design. Just weeks ago the Peckham-based studio joined forces with luxury British knitwear brand John Smedley and is set to launch its first capsule collection of garments designed by Intoart artists this coming November.
Intoart was founded in 2001 by Ella Ritchie and Sam Jones, initially as an eight-week project to respond to a lack of high-quality arts education and limited opportunities for artists with learning difficulties.
