IS this even a deliverable service from tLS?
Should tLS make space for Limners to ask this of one another?

These are valid questions! We must refer to our mission and fundamental goals to know the answer. (Stay tuned, since the mission is under revision.)

I do know that each of us is responsible to invest the talents God has given us. And we can all check youtube to learn how to do encaustic techniques, wet on wet watercolor washes, etc...

(Although as they say, "You can't learn Karate from a book.")

Jake - I agree that these are valid questions. Could discussions about techniques be held on the Blog? It's interesting that you mentioned linocut on our Skype call the other night. I have recently started doing some and it is a lot of fun. Can be very tedious for sure.

Matt - Thanks for the links! I'd love to see how lino is going for you.

I think we need to answer a few questions about what tLS' mission is before putting a discussion about techniques on our blog or having one elsewhere under the banner of tLS.

Here's my line of thinking...

QUESTION: Is the professional development of artists part of our mission to reach the tLS vision?

YES: Then let's talk about the best way to teach and share techniques. (Personally, I find that a blog is good for getting ideas but I don't learn techniques well online and would prefer a face to face demonstration.)

NO: Then let's drop any talk of a blog or meeting for this purpose. It's good to learn but it simply doesn't fit under the mission for tLS and belongs elsewhere. tLS needs to keep it simple and specific to our mission. Go elsewhere to learn techniques.
