Ben's Bells Newtown Studio

Come into the new Ben's Bells Studio in Newtown (17 Church
Hill Road, our entrance is in the rear of the building) to help spread kindness
through the creation of Ben's Bells.  Our Studio is open every Wednesday from
6-9pm and Saturdays from 12-4pm.  Food and beverage are welcome into the studio to make a
fun-outing for you and your friends!

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
we 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 for a small donation.
