Ben's Bells Newtown Studio - SPECIAL FRIDAY HOURS
Come into the new Ben's Bells
Studio in Newtown to help spread kindness through the creation of Ben's Bells
THIS Friday from 10am - 4pm.
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 normal studio hours are Saturdays from 12-4pm and Wednesdays from
6-9pm. 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.
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
