Vincent R. Clemente

Reminded of this good man and Dear Uncle everyday. We have many pieces of his pottery and think of him each and every time we see or use it. Each piece an irreplaceable treasure ... not just for his art ... but as a remembrance of this very special family, that we love most dearly.

My condolences to the Clemente family for the loss of Vincent. My fondest art school memories are of Vincent's smile and laugh and his gentle manner. He was a gem of a person and teacher.

Vince was an awesome guy....kind and encouraging to all who knew him. We became good friends over the past 20 years I knew him. I loved the way he would bust my chops often...he had a good sense of humor. I as well am a Potter and Vince was always there for me if I had any questions. He was a good friend and I will miss him very much. Sincerely, David Lisi

Vincent was not only a wonderful teacher but also a wonderful man!
I took classes at MWP and I learned so much under his direction.
He had a great sense of humor and a wonderful way of teaching.
Most of us that took his class became a very close knit group...kiinda like family.
It was an honor to be part of his class and a friend.
I am so saddened to learn of his passing.
I attended most of his "sales" and treasure the items I have that he made.
Even though I have...

Beloved Uncle ... Sage Mentor ... Artist's Artist ... Kindest Friend ... Quietest of Patriots. Sadly for us, the Potter's wheel is now still; his kiln extinguished, and it's shell broken. But, we know our Potter lives, and is now at peace and at home in the arms for the Lord with his beloved Mary and Patricia, and all of our family who have gone before. We miss you already Dear Uncle ... but also know, we will see you again when we follow the path you've set; and ... we expect you to have...

Bob,
Your Father was a wonderful man and my thoughts and prayers go out to you during your period of grieving.
God bless,
Bill Britt

I was a ceramics major at Munson-Williams-Proctor School of Art almost forty years ago. I remember Vincent well and he will always be my favorite teacher. I am so sorry for your loss.

i've been teaching ceramics for 40 years all because of 1 man-vincent-i was probably 13 when i first met him-he was the most wonderful and caring person who became one of my mentors over the years. i'm so grateful to him for his years of guidance in the world of art. joe talerico
