Morvarid Alavifard

About
I am an Iranian multidisciplinary/precious metal artist based in the UK. I work primarily with silversmithing techniques. My work reflects My experiences as an Iranian woman, exploring the intricate relationship between human senses and objects, particularly touch. Through My metalwork, I am challenging conventional notions of material value and experiences.
I have been awarded a Silvers Fellowship from Yorkshire Artspace, where I am further developing My practice and skills. I obtained my Master's in Jewellery and Metal from the Royal College of Art in 2022, supported by the Behrens Foundation Bursary Scholarship. Following my Master's, I spent a year at Bishopland Educational Trust, during which I was honoured with the Jane Goodman Award and Bursary.
She had been showcasing her work nationally and internationally.
