Directed since 2004 by internationally known clay artist and long-time Crealdé faculty member Vincent Sansone, Crealdé’s Ceramics and Sculpture department offers beginning sculpture courses concentrating on traditional clay work while more advanced courses utilize non-traditional materials, varied mediums, and processes. An introductory bronze casting course is also offered and participants can use Crealdé's on-site foundry to cast pieces.

Ceramics courses begin with basic hand building and wheel throwing classes and progress to intermediate and advanced level courses where students can refine their skills and work with additional glazing materials, developing a personal style. Work is fired in electric and gas kilns. The program has a liberal open studio policy, which enables students to work independently. The department also offers beginning and intermediate classes in fabric painting, textile design, and jewelry-making. Visiting Artists Workshops have included coppersmithing, welding and have produced collaborative pieces of art permanently installed in our sculpture garden.
