Ben's Bells Newtown Studio

Come into the new Ben's Bells Studio in
Newtown to help spread kindness through the creation of Ben's Bells, our studio hours are Wednesdays from 6-9pm & Saturdays from 12-4pm!

It is
important to note that seating is on a first come, first serve basis. While we

never charge for you to come and make bells, we do rely solely on donations, so

we kindly suggest a donation of $5 or whatever you can spare for our donation

jar.  Your donation will continue to help us provide the materials needed

to create Ben’s Bells and also fund our kindness programs in schools, Kind Kids

and Kind Campuses.

Nationally renowned, Ben’s Bells are

brightly colored ceramic works of art that are randomly hung in public places that

bear a tag instructing the person who finds the bell to take it home and to

remember to be kind.  In our studio, you will either form beads with clay

or have the opportunity to glaze beads.  The bells you make will

eventually be distributed in Connecticut to fulfill their purpose of spreading

kindness, one interaction at a time.

Our team of volunteers will be staffing

the studio and encourage everyone to drop in during our regular studio

hours.  We will also have after-hours availability for private group

events.  For those who would like to participate in bell making outside of

the studio, with a group of friends, we will have "to-go" boxes

available.  Stay informed on our studio by visiting and liking our

Facebook page at  www.facebook.com/BensBellsNewtown



We hope to

see you in the Ben’s Bells Newtown studio to help us spread kindness!
