About Morvarid ALavifard
Morvarid Alavifard is a precious-metal artist based at Yorkshire Artspace, where she was awarded a Fellowship in 2024. Her work is primarily rooted in silversmithing techniques, and her practice draws from her lived experience as an Iranian woman, exploring how objects can carry memory and emotion.
She holds an MA in Jewellery and Metal from the Royal College of Art (2022), supported by the Behrens Foundation Bursary Scholarship, and a First-Class BA in Jewellery and Objects from Birmingham City University. Following her MA, she was a resident at the Bishopsland Educational Trust, where she received both an award and a bursary.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

Morvarid’s practice has empowered her to dream and share her voice. Through her work, she aims to allow others to experience, feel, and dream through their senses.
Her creative practice explores multi-sensory objects crafted from precious materials. At the core of her artistic expression is the idea that destruction can become a form of creation, reflecting a process of self-exploration throughout her creative journey. Through a poetic relationship with the materials she uses, she channels evocative energy into her work, creating pieces that captivate viewers and resonate deeply with their emotions.
