And from 1956 until 1980 he worked at Ateliers Ceramic Structure 68 bv in The Hague. Since 1988 he lectured at the Technical University of Delft.

Sculptural works of Dam can be found in the public space of several Dutch cities. For the Anne Frankschool in the district Oosterwei in Gouda he designed a relief (see first image), showing in bright colors Anne Frank depicted, writing, candlelight in the attic, in her diary.
