Britt Swain trained at Chelsea Art College as a Printed Textile Designer. After a few years of selling designs all over the world to brands such as Calvin Klein, Harrods and Laura Ashley, she decided to use her skills in a practical way, by training to become an art teacher.

Britt has also run Summer Workshops in schools where pupils have painted murals for their school hall, based on their own drawings, art work and stories. One community project the painting of a huge colourful mural for a local supermarket was truly communal, as it involved a team spanning the ages of 5 to 86!
