A note from Elise Wagner about Hugo Anaya
Since 2017, January has always meant packing up for my printmaking retreat and heading for the sunshine of Mexico. The retreat came about by ringing a doorbell at the Alma del Sol Inn and introducing myself to Hugo Anaya on the recommendation of a mutual friend. In reflection now, over 50 students have come to the retreat since then and Hugo and I have formed a wonderful partnership that fosters creativity. Each time it has been a fun and engaging group of people from all walks of life meeting up to create and enjoy delicious food and libations in the sunshine to start the New Year right! Join us at Pier 11 Studio in Astoria, OR for a class with master printmaker, Hugo Anaya.
