PURPOSE:
 Demonstrating, guiding, evaluating by teacher shop floor activities related to kill learning
assembling, dismantling, fabricating, erecting ete, by students Experimenting, investing.
discussing, measuring, and testing by students
 The space requirements of laboratories varies from one laboratory to another. The major
determinants are the number of students working at a time and the size of the equipments.
In some cases the first factor is the basis and in other in which the equipments are of large
size, equipment is the deciding factor.
 Norms of 4-8 per student and 15 in special cases are therefore applied and area of each
Laboratory determined applying to the norms relevant to that particular laboratory.
 The prescribed norms correspond to the model curriculum equipments provision of extra
built in shortage in desirable.

3.  Use of versatile training system in place of huge conventional equipment can reduce the
space requirements. This should be appropriately considered in the application of norms
determining or evaluating and adequacy of laboratory space.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
 The space should be arranged with sufficient imagination that it is flexible allows the
teacher to vary the curriculum from year to year. Rooms therefore would be conceived
series of work centres in which activities with different kinds of materials can be carried
forward

developed for storage or seminar use.
 Basically major elements are specially stop like woodworking, electrical, metal toe
combined general shops. Additionally drafting rooms are common an well as supporting
classroom, offices & sometimes locker rooms
 The layout of any shop should follow the logic of its equipment used its relationship te
electrical & mechanical services.
 Several things must be considered such as special code & safety concerns, good lighting.
sawdust collecting systems, overhead Hoist system. Exhaust ducts & the ability to get
large supplies in our stored.

4.  Area for fixed machine, storage for tool and other equipment, work room for workshop
charge, worktables, storage for raw material, demonstration area, first aid box, fire safety
provision, black board, wash basin, tool panel.
 Machine should be placed I m clear distance from all wall or column. Flooring and
electricity supply and important consideration are must be according Equipment.
FASHION WORKSHOP
Activities
Loom weaving, tapestry work, batik, tie-dye, macramé , soft sculpture, banners, fabric
collages, needle point, stitchery - & sewing.
Physical requirement
 The general work area should be flexible to allow frequent changing needs. Some
activities will require a permanent set up such as floor looms & sewing machines &
these may be installed in alcoves.
 The predominant arrangement will be one of movable worktables & counters which
can be adapted for a variety of crafts. Storage should be provided within common
room.
Furnishing Equipments
 The basic furnishings consist of workbenches, tables & stools. Much of the specialized
equipment is portable. Foot powered looms occupy considerable floor space when in
operation but may be moved & stored when not in use. Table looms, rug looms &
tapestry frames can be utilized on table tops & stored when not in use Heavy duty sewing
machines are essential in a textile program. Enamel pans, hot plates 7 drying racks are
necessary.
 Equipments
1. Textile weaving
2. Block printing table (1.52m X 2.5m)

ANIMATION & FILM MAKING STUDIO
 Computer animation
 CEL animation
 Computer (graphic card)
 Drawing, Shooting
 Work table
 Instructor cabin
 Demonstrator area
The layout of various types of animation:
1. Motion or clay animation: Objects are placed under camera, lit by artificial/natural
source and then Photographed with their positions slightly changed.
2. Cell animation: An animation stand is a table above or below, on which the art work is
placed and the camera mounted on Top shoots one frame at a time.
3. Computer animation: It is a very new & fast changing animation technique and is very
expensive. But it can be housed with animation area with consoles substituting tables &
the camera taking feed via cables.

CERAMIC WORKSHOP
Activities
 Clay is worked by several methods including hand modelling, throwing on potter's wheel
& casting. After pieces have dried, they are fired to form bisque, glazed & fired again.
 A comprehensive program includes clay preparation, forming techniques, decorating, fire
procedures & glaze formulation.
 Mould making is an activity related to pottery reproduction. Casting of clay in ceramic
moulds is a repetitive process which relates more to commercial manufacturing.
Physical requirement
Common area
 Work area for designing, forming & glazing. However, kilns which generate large
amount of heat should be separated from general work area.
 Materials often come in large containers so storage rooms should be convenient to
service entrance. Room surfaces should be non-porous & easily cleaned.
 Sloped floors with drain are desirable. Storage for drying of pottery is required in an
area separate from general work spaces.

JEWELLERY & ART METAL
Activities
 Processes include designing & construction with sheets, wires & tubes, welding,
soldering & casting.
 Design & construction of jewellery may require the addition of stone settings &
colouring.
 Additional activities in this include procedures for lapidary (cutting & polishing stone) &
metal enamelling (fusion colour to metal in a kiln).
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT
 Certain precautions are to be taken & should be exercised in planning. Welding & hot
metal casting should be set aside in an alcove with hardened concrete floor.
 Special gas jets may be installed for fine soldering.
 Enamelling involves the use of acids, kilns & blow torches, hence the area where the
enamel is applied & dried should be apart from other areas to prevent spreading metal
dust or jarring enamels that are drying.
FURNISHING EQUIPMENT
 Much of jewellery work can be done at standard work counters with accessory v-blocks,
anvils, gas fixtures and vises attached.
 Alternatively 2 or 4 workbenches can be provided in the general work space. Slab saws &
flat laps are floor mounted items.
 In a large shop separate lapidary units for cutting, grinding, polishing & buffing are
preferable.

8.  Buffing machines, drill presses, trim saws, centrifugal & vacuum casting machines,
faceting machines, grinding, arbores, burn out kilns, sanders & gem tumblers can all be
bench mounted.
 Lapidary equipment should be so placed as to facilitate the progression of operations
from slabbing, trimming & grinding through polishing & faceting.
