Master Egg Artists from the IEAG Master program which ceased several years ago. These artists set the standard for all future eggshell artists. Gallery of IEAG Master Program Egg Art NEWLY RESTORED PHOTOS! The old IEAG Master Program was a great program that emphasized technical proficiency in order to elevate egg art to the highest level. The artist was required to pass each level in order. The levels were as follows: novice, intermediate and master level. Each category and level had very strict criteria including type of egg used. All judging was done in person. Unfortunately, the IEAG is no longer in existence. EAI would like to thank these amazing artists who set the standards for excellence for all future Master Artisans.

Beautiful examples of the Master Artisan Pathway category of Applied Wax on eggshells. Category Spotlight: Applied Wax A design where wax is applied as part of the design and left in situ as part of the decorative technique, such as Madeira work, Lusatian or Wendish style, cross-stitch style etc. The even application of the wax to the egg will be considered, along with the complexity of the design. The judges will be looking for a mix of technique to include ‘drop-pull’. Additional cut work will add to the level of complexity.

See beautiful examples of diorama egg art. See examples from the Master Artisan Pathway ,the old IEAG Master eggs and other excellent examples of this style. Category Spotlight: Diorama Egg Art The main focus of the design will be a scene that is created within the egg; however, this can also extend around the egg. The level of detail included will be assessed, however the exterior of the egg will also be looked at in detail. Any items made by the artist should be mentioned as this will be of benefit in the assessment. The usual criteria of a well-balanced and tasteful design will also apply.
