Come into the Ben's Bells Studio in Newtown to help spread
kindness through the creation of Ben's Bells.  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. 



We are 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 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.  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 also
have after-hours availability for private group events such as birthday
parties.  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.  Stay informed on Ben's Bells by liking
