Ella Ritchie, is the co-founder of Intoart – an art and design studio in South London working inclusively with people with learning disabilities. In our conversation, Ella shares how Intoart started over 20 years ago now and she explains its mission - Intoart truly is an alternative art school, as the current education system doesn’t provide creative opportunities for people with learning disabilities.

We also learn about Intoart’s artists and how they are shaping the future of the organisation, and Ella shares with us an exciting announcement about the evolution of Intoart’s design studio.
