Ceramics Lab
The DAAP Ceramics Lab is one of the many resources available to students. Unlike other programs offered at similar schools, all labs are located in the same building. This proximity provides students with a distinct advantage in their studies at DAAP.
The DAAP Ceramics Lab provides access to a wide array of equipment, tools, and materials required for the creation and research of ceramic works. Within the Ceramics Lab, students have access to several dedicated facilities including a plaster lab, glaze lab, raw materials/mixing lab, and electric, gas, and raku kilns. The studio equipment includes pottery wheels, a slab roller, clay extruder, wedging table, clay mixers, slip tank, pug mill, tile press, masonry saw, drying cabinet, spray booth, assorted hand tools, mixing implements, and communal workspace and ware carts.
