About Us

Welcome to Wilton Pottery —welcoming space where craftsmanship, creativity, and community come together.

Founded by Domingo “Mingo" Olavarria, Wilton Pottery reflects nearly a decade of experience in ceramics, teaching, and studio building. Prior to opening in Wilton, Mingo founded Mingo Pottery Studio in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — a vibrant, community-driven space known for its warm atmosphere and dedication to both artistic growth and connection.

That same philosophy is at the heart of Wilton Pottery.

We believe working with clay is both an art and an experience — one that encourages creativity, patience, and meaningful time spent together. Our studio is thoughtfully designed to feel elevated yet approachable, offering a clean, inspiring environment where individuals, couples, and families can comfortably create side by side.

Whether you're introducing your child to their first pottery class, enjoying a creative date, or developing your skills as an artist, Wilton Pottery provides the tools, guidance, and atmosphere to support you. We offer curated classes, flexible memberships, and open studio access, all centered around quality instruction and a strong sense of community.

Mingo’s approach blends technical expertise with a genuine passion for creating spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. Every detail of the studio reflects a commitment to excellence — from the equipment we provide to the experience we create for every guest who walks through our doors.

Wilton Pottery is more than a studio — it’s a place to create lasting memories, build skills, and be part of a thoughtful, creative community.

We look forward to welcoming you.
