A Studio and a Coffee Counter
Hughes River Trading Co. is the studio and gallery of printmaker Margaret Rogers, combined with a family coffee business. The pairing is the draw: you can look at prints in the gallery and pick up coffee in the same stop. We don't have a published menu, roast list or price points, so we'll leave those to the venue's own website.
Printmaking rewards a slow look. Edition numbers, paper, and ink all tell you something about how a piece was made, and a working studio is a good place to ask. If you're buying, ask the artist or staff about framing and how a piece should be cared for.
Fitting It Into the Art Tour
The RAAC Fall Art Tour, organized by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community, is a self-guided tour on Saturday, November 7, 2026. It features over 80 artists and more than 30 studios and galleries across Rappahannock County, spanning paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry and woodworks. We haven't confirmed that Hughes River Trading Co. is an official stop, so check the RAAC tour listing before planning around it.
