Since 1999, Ben has made pottery for both the public and for stores around the country. (For more information on how to obtain Ben Wolff Pottery for your store, click here). Ben works out of home in Goshen, Connecticut where he creates all of his pieces by hand on a potters wheel (Shimpo Wheels). He makes, fires, and ships all of his products with help from his wife, Corinne Wolff.
(Puppy too!) The pottery that Ben makes is based on his
own visions and designs, following methods learned at
Wolff Pottery and beyond.

In addition to being a potter, Ben is also a musician. He
plays an array of different instruments and styles of music.

products, and music, so please come back to have a
