GREAT EGGSpectations Studio
Since 2001 Alan Rabon has been carving various eggs into fanciful works of art. Many years ago while living in his home town of Charleston, S.C., Alan was working as a jeweler. His mother brought him some seashells and asked if he could carve something in them. He tried to carve silhouettes of egrets and crabs in the seashells but kept breaking the drill bits he used at his jewelers bench so he began to research for as better tool. At last he found the Powercarver. With this tool came a video that showed artists carving eggshells. As soon as he saw this he new he had to try for himself so he ordered some eggshells and the rest is history.
Alan has been named the official Egg Artist for Georgia in 2005 and 2007. He was also the official state egg artist for Illinois in 2008. In 2006 Alan was commissioned to carve an egg for First Lady Laura Bush by the American Egg Board.
In 2011 Alan was invited to exhibit his eggs and demonstrate how his eggs are carved in Hong Kong.
