Flagler students got their hands in clay Tuesday afternoon during a ceramic tilemaking workshop held as part of the annual AIGA Flagler Design Week, a weeklong series of programs exploring the process, craft, and business of design.
Joe Fioramonti, an assistant professor of graphic design at Flagler College, said he’s lucky enough to work two dream jobs, and teaching college students is one of them.

Opportunities Beyond the Classroom
Opportunities Beyond the Classroom
Joining this program will allow you the opportunity to step away from the campus and make connections all around the country. For example, the New York Study Away program is an annual 3-day, 4-night trip to New York City held during Spring Break.
Faculty lead students on a tour of the city’s major museums, special exhibitions, galleries, and on scheduled visits with working designers, artists, and museum professionals. The trip is great for students in Graphic Design, Fine Art, and Art History to help discover and explore future career pathways.
