Plan your creative stay at the Oregon Coast

Many of our students come a long way to our historic town for classes. Below are some recommended places to stay.

Your experience in class will be right on the water at Pier 11 Studio in Astoria, Oregon. A beautiful albeit distracting view of ships passing and sea lions frolicking awaits to inspire you. Some of the workshops are scheduled the weekend of the Astoria Art Walk, which is the second Saturday of each month so, you will have a chance to be immersed in the creative culture here on the Northern Oregon Coast. Plan a fun trip with a friend for a workshop to get a taste of the local and vibrant creative community here.

Need accommodations while taking my workshop in Astoria? I recommend you take a look at these AirBnb stays! Text Host Jimbo before booking and mention you are taking a workshop with Elise Wagner and get 20% off.
