Welcome Champs! A Letter to our New/Returning Students
Welcome/Welcome Back Champs!
Hello AO Family and Friends!
Somehow, we’ve already found ourselves doing an end-of-summer recap. While we’re bummed about the end of August approaching, we’re so excited for our upcoming AO fall endeavors (and the fact that it’s not 100 degrees in the factory/studio). As the new school year is almost upon us, and we greatly prepare for Art Hop Weekend, we wanted to commemorate our new/returning Vermonters with a special opportunity from us. Take a look below.
Celebrating 18 Years of Champ! (the AO Champ)
That’s right! Hard to believe but this year, we’re celebrating 18 years of AO Glass!! A tremendous thank you to anyone who has supported us over the years. Without your help, all the memories, experiences, and glassware you know and love wouldn’t be possible. So, thank you. This fall also marks the 18th year anniversary of our AO Champ! We love Champ, and we cannot believe it’s almost been two decades since we started our homage to the quintessential Vermont lake lover. Earlier this year, we partnered with the Lake Champlain Sea Grant (link this and correct title) to share some information about Champ, and our personal connection to this lovely legend (pictured above).
Special Discount for New/Returning Students and Co!
In honor of all the “champs” returning to the Green Mountain State, we’re offering a discount for all the university students, alumni, and supporters to receive 20% off their Champ orders until the end of September. Use Code: WELCOMECHAMPS20 during checkout to redeem your discount! Many locals, and aspiring locals, gravitate towards Lake Champlain, and the majesty held by its mountainous forest-lined waters. And what better way to commemorate the incredible minds that choose to stay here than with a piece of glass memorabilia that will always remind you of your time in Vermont. See our Champ offerings here.
Well, that’s all for now! Until our next newsletter, with a little more information about just what exactly we’ve been doing this summer. A lot has happened, and somehow, even more is happening this fall! As AO Glass co-founder and owner, Tove Ohlander, once said: “After Art Hop, it’s Christmas.” That said, we’ll be in-touch soon with some exciting updates and recaps. In the meantime, spend some time outside and soak up the rest of this cool summer weather. And if you’ve got some time to spare, slide down to 416 Pine Street in Burlington and come hang (no Tomte Ornament pun intended)!
Sincerely,
The AO Glass Team
