The Wheel Maker
In spite of the traffic problems in the Egyptian capital, hand and animal- drawn carts are sometimes the only solution for the spontaneous planning of the old sections of the city,
and certainly the most economical. Shops for making and repairing these carts and their special sturdy wheels are located around the North gate of the old City built in 969 AD. Age-old methods of manufacturing are still employed by these craftsmen skilled in carpentry and metal smithing. Unlike other traditional crafts, this one is still alive and able to satisfy the demands for a mobile shop in the narrow streets of Cairo.
Elhamy is an Egyptian artist and teacher with 45 years of professional experience. He works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, graphic and interior design, and wooden toys. He is the owner of Graffiti Artistoys, a graphic arts studio located in Maadi, Cairo, Egypt. He also owns a workshop for the production of educational toys and materials, and is co-owner of Box of Wonders (Sandouq el Agab), a shop selling folk-inspired wooden toys and automata in Fustat, Cairo. Elhamy recently moved to Los Angeles, California, to be near his children (and adorable grandchild) and looks forward to exploring new opportunities.
