Art Against Knives

Whilst there are many charities out there all working towards a great cause, Made from Plastic was introduced to one which really hit home in Art Against Knives. The charity has followed on from the success of their celebrity fund raising art exhibition, which featured the likes of Tracey Emin, Giles Deacon, Antony Gormley, Christopher Kane and many others.

Art Against Knives itself was born out of the tragic and unprovoked stabbing Oliver Hemsley (Central St Martin’s student), which left Oliver in a wheelchair. This tragic event has spurred Oliver and his friends to create something positive in Art Against Knives, where the key focus is to bring a deep-rooted change to the community. 2010 will see Art Against Knives working Couture Lab, who will host a series of bespoke art and garment auctions online on behalf of the charity, whilst continuing to make a difference.
