IGMA Artisan? That would be. . .mice!
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006(”That would be…mice” - Three Weddings and a Funeral.)
What is IGMA? International Guild of Miniature Artisans, Ltd. http://www.igma.org
One of their goals is:
”To Recognize and Honor Qualified Artisans and Encourage Work of Highest Quality
1. Through review and selection of qualified members to be conferred with the status of Artisan.
2. Through the granting of the status of Fellow to Artisans who have achieved excellence in their field.”
I’ve been aware of IGMA for years, of course. Several of my mini-buddies are IGMA Artisans and one is a Fellow. They are “The best of the best.” Miniaturists to hold in awe and reverence. Anyone can be a member of IGMA, but the Artisan and Fellow designations are only awarded if the selection board agrees that the pieces entered into the jury process pass a stringent list of standards.
