This is: The Art Department Ceramics Lab
This is the UCLA Department of Art’s Ceramics Lab, one of the amazing making-spaces located on the ground floor of the Broad Art Center. The 5,000+ square foot space includes a large throwing and handbuilding room, a glaze room, a kiln yard, and a tool closet. The lab is also equipped with work tables and throwing wheels that can accommodate any throwing style, a variety of electric and gas-fired kilns that range from 6 cubic feet to a large car kiln, a walk-in spray booth, plaster mold-making equipment, extruders, slip mixing equipment, a hand-cranked forklift, a hydraulic lift cart, and a huge variety of materials and glazes that our students transform into works of art. There is even a clean room and library that is used for lectures and critiques. UCLA alumnus and artist Shoshi Watanabe has served as the Ceramics Lab Supervisor since 2014. Ceramics faculty include Assistant Professor Candice Lin and Associate Professor Anna Sew Hoy, who also serves as Area Head for the Ceramics program.
