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 by visiting and liking our
Facebook page at  www.facebook.com/BensBellsNewtown 

We hope to
see you in the Ben’s Bells Newtown studio to help us spread kindness!
