The Long-Awaited Art Hop Update and Schedule
Hello AO Family and Friends!
Happy September! It feels so weird saying that, but it’s true! And with September comes the highly-anticipated 33rd annual Art Hop Weekend!
Last year, we were busy parading around, catching up with friendly faces, and making more Champs than we could even count. But this year— we have some especially exciting plans for the weekend to announce! The full schedule is as follows:
For Friday, 09/05:
Open Hours: 5:00pm - 10:00pm
What’s Goin’ On?: Enjoy a night of festivities at AO Glass! Come hang out and shop handblown glassware while you catch up with friends and family! Live music presented by Saru and friends from 7:30pm-9:00pm, and incredible cocktails made by Vermont’s own Split Spirits. All ages, and all are welcome!
For Saturday, (09/06):
Open Hours: 10:00am - 8:00pm
What’s Goin On’?: The big demo day for AO Glass! Stop in throughout the day to watch our incredible glassblowers team up to tackle production, and the exclusive creation of our “Graal” line of products. These are limited-pieces, inspired by our Scandinavian glassblowing roots, that are an amazing spectacle to witness. Come and browse our glassware while you witness these stunning pieces get made.
Graal Production Schedule: (11:00am-12:00pm) (2:00pm-3:00pm) (5:00pm-6:00pm)
For Sunday, (09/07):
Open Hours: 12:00pm - 4:00pm
What’s Goin’ On?: After a packed week/weekend, we’ll be open for some retail therapy on a rare Sunday store opening. Get ahead on your holiday wishlist, enjoy a tour of our space, or capitalize on our Seconds Sale.
We know that sounds like a lot, and that’s because it is! As our biggest event of the year, we’ve been working tremendously hard to prepare for the weekend.
A huge thanks to everyone, staff, friends, customers, and family for your support throughout the years- and leading up to this weekend’s events. We couldn’t do any of this without your help. But the work’s not done yet! We’re going to keep grinding (literally) at the factory/studio this week, and we’ll be sure to see you this Friday— if not, sooner!
Sincerely,
The AO Glass Team
