Janice Wainwright studied at Wimbledon School of Art, Kingston School of Art and The Royal College of Art in London. Between 1965 and 1969 she worked for 'Simon Massey'. Her 1960s work was youthful, bright and feminine She was reportedly the only other designer permitted to use Celia Birtwell's textiles in the 1960s and Ossie Clarke is said to have had great respect for her.
