                                                            father, Guy Wolff, watching him throw pots in

                                                            had his hands in clay around the age of 1, and
                                                            actually threw his first, very small piece at the

                                                            high school, Ben worked in various trades but
                                                            always made time to make pottery with his

Since 1999, Ben has made pottery for both the public and for stores around the country. Ben works out of home in Goshen, Connecticut where he creates all of his pieces by hand on a potter’s wheel. (Shimpo Wheels) He makes, fires, and ships all of his products with help from his wife, Corinne Wolff.
(Puppy Too) The pots Ben makes are 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.

Ben’s father, Guy Wolff (Wolff Pottery) has moved to a
new location. He has rebuilt a small 1700’s home into a
larger new work/retail space. "He finally has heat" Guy
Wolff Pottery is located on Route 202 in Bantam, about
1 ½ miles up the hill (towards Bantam/Litchfield) from his old store in Woodville, Connecticut. You can also find Ben Wolff pots and drawings by Ben's half sister Elizabeth Wolff at Guys new Studio.

Ben continues to come out with new types of pots and products so please come back to have a look at what he is up to in the future.
