Ben's Bells Newtown Studio

Come into the new Ben's Bells Studio in Newtown 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.

We hope to see you in the Ben's Bells Newtown Studio to help us spread kindness.
