Khaled Ali

Khaled Ali is a skilled glassblower working in the tradition of Egyptian glass artisans, where mastery of fire, timing and breath transforms molten material into functional beauty. From his workshop located right across from the masterfully carved dome of the Mosque of Qaytbay in Cairo’s Mamluk Desert district, Khaled continues the legacy of craftsmen who have kept this ancient art form alive through dedication and the patient transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next.
