Come into 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 an 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.
