Amira Ayad
is an Egyptian Jewelry artist. She has been taught by prominent jewelry artists from across the world. She has been teaching for over 8 years in leading Jewellery schools with concentration on Jewellery making techniques and conceptual designs. She has taken part in a number of international and local exhibitions. Participated in an exchange program between the British council and The Cass School of Design- England.
Ayad loves working with found objects and abandoned treasures as her material and she uses the texture to translate her thoughts. “My use of texture is an important part of conveying a visual narrative that speaks to the wearer as well as the viewer.”
She aspires that her art would have the power to change the ways people think and express dissent, to be used as a tool for challenging the status quo, and to voice one’s thoughts on human conditions.
She is also the founder of Cairo Centre for Contemporary Jewellery CCCJ.
