Hello, it is the last day of November. I'm posting a few photos from when photographer Ben Sarle was in our studio trying to catch us on the lense for the article in the Burlington Free Press last weekend. OK, time to take a long breath and try to take it easy all of December......

Thank you to all of you that has worked hard to help us create our work space, Clear Story Arts.
Thank you, I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving! Cheers, Tove.

Wow! We are thrilled with all the enthusiasm we meet as we introduce our new business model. Thank you to all you inspiring B-town's people. We are definitely going to be open on this Saturday for Small Business Saturday. Read this weeks article in Seven days:

Serenity. What a beautiful photo this is. It portrays both the patience in waiting for our business to get started, and the feeling you get when a lot of the work is done, ones children are settling in to Thanks giving break and after a weekend dancing at a great party & knowing near and dear and far away, people celebrate.
Thank You! Enjoy this special week.
Tove.

YES ! We connected with Polar Bears International and we will start a cause marketing campaign with our small Polar Bear glass sculptures. A percentage of sales of each cool sculpture goes directly to Polar Bears International starting today. Learn more about this passionate organization at www.polarbearsinternational.org/

THANK YOU everyone who visited us on Friday !
It was a great "dress rehearsal" for our Grand Opening(coming up the end of this month). Also, congratulations to SEABA, that had a successful first art opening! We are thrilled so many people like the idea of an Art C.S.A. And, Yes it does make a lot of sense. With support we can run an active downtown glass studio. Education, recreational glass blowing, rental time, custom orders, events...It is all possible. Please come to 416 Pine st. and find out more. There are still membership spaces available. We will officially be open from tomorrow, Tuesday Nov.9. Opening hours are 10 am to 2.30pm until Thanksgiving. To reach us at other times, just call 802 540 0223 and we will meet you at the studio.
I just have to add Namaste today, we are very greatful. It rains outside and it is getting colder. But in a few days there will be a warm glow at Clear Story Arts in the South End Arts District and we hope to see you all in there.

Namaste!

Tove.

CSART

PRESENTATION OF OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTED ART MEMBERSHIP MODEL.
We have chosen to create a membership model at our new glass and art studio that is based on the local agriculture version. Pete's Greens is a great and popular example of a Burlington CSA. We offer shares of seasonal glass art 4 times a year. This will give you a discount at 25%, opportunities to enjoy live glass demonstrations at pick up evenings, and a chance to support our first start up year as a new business.

NEW NAME.
Our glass and art will still be signed Arentzen & Ohlander, but our studio and store is now named
Clear Story Arts. We are located in the courtyard behind S.E.A.B.A. and Speeder & Earl.

EVENT:
Friday November 5 we will be open on First Friday Art Walk. Between 6 and 8 pm we will talk about our CSArt Membership, Glass Classes and other opportunities.

We hope to see you there,
Tove.
