Does anyone on the island have experience with encaustic wax painting? I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

I'm just beginning to experiment with encaustics myself. I have several good books I'd be willing to loan out, but otherwise am not yet knowledgeable enough to pass on any information. A few years ago Doris Larson and a few other islanders got together to share ideas about encaustic. That might be a good place to start.
