Here’s a chance to sit around the table and play. Learn to use the pinch forming method to make small heads. Manipulate the clay from inside the form to enhance facial features before closing it up. Design a base for the head when you make it. The last hour will be used to show ways of decorating and glazing.

Sansone, Vince

A revered artist and educator with 50 years of experience as a professional potter, Vincent Sansone joined the Crealdé faculty in the mid-1970s, shortly after the school opened and served as the longstanding Ceramics Studio and Program Manager from 2002 to 2022.  Sansone also taught at Valencia College, where he was an Assistant Professor of Ceramics Art.  Sansone was awarded his M.F.A. in Ceramics and his B.F.A. in Painting at Southern Illinois University, and he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago.  Sansone's creations have been exhibited throughout the United States, including New Orleans, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Ashville, Chattanooga and Los Angeles.  Internationally his work was included in a cultural exchange exhibition in 2001, organized by the Florida CraftArt and exhibited in San Jose, Costa Rica.  In 2004, he was part of the first Taiwan Ceramics Biennale Exhibitions in Taipei.  In Florida, his work is held in numerous private and public collections, including the Pine Castle Folk Art Center, SunTrust Bank, Orange County Public Library, Maitland Art & History, the City of Orlando and the Sculpture Garden at Crealdé School of Art.  He is a recipient of multiple United Arts of Central Florida Individual Artist Recognition Awards as well as individual Artist Fellowship Awards from the State of Florida.  Sansone has conducted workshops throughout the Southeast and regularly exhibited in galleries and art festivals where he received many top awards and recognitions.  He has also served as a judge at local and regional art exhibitions.  Sansone established the popular Cup-A-Thon fundraising sale at Crealdé School of Art, which is now a nearly 40-year-old tradition, held in August.
