The buzz is building around encaustic and therefore, many retailers are taking notice. Art stores across the country are now trying to include more encaustic demonstrations and presentations in their event schedule.  Our retailers have been contacting us about their upcoming encaustic workshops and Enkaustikos presentations.  Recently, we were notified of a few larger art events (that include encaustic) that are worth taking a look at.  Save the dates, some may be near you.
