Ben’s Bells,17 Church Hill Rd (entrance in rear), Newtown, CT



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 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. In our studio, you will either form beads
with clay or have the opportunity to glaze beads, all ages welcome! The bells
you make will eventually be distributed in the area 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
