Ben's Bells Newtown Studio - New Hours

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 Saturday from 12-4pm and Wednesdays from
10-3pm and 6-9pm. Food and beverage are welcome into the studio to make a
fun-outing or 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 place 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.
