New Featured Student
Alan Brim of Sculptured Walls
Alan Brim creates breathtaking works of bas-relief sculpture art and traditional plaster finishes
using Venetian plaster and other materials.
His love of the material has lead him to explore the history of Venetian plaster. You can read
more about Alan and his historical findings in our Featured Student section. You will also find
more images of Alan's artisan plaster work and links to his website.

DalTile's New Showroom
C2 Surfaces brings the magic
SAFS Instructor
Crystal Lane-Sowell
and Chris Sowell are working to transform the walls at the
new DalTile showroom, located just south of the Seattle Design Center. The custom finishes that
Crystal created complement the tile so beautifully it's really worth a trip to the showroom to
see it for yourself!
If you don't have time to visit DalTile's showroom take a minute to view the website. There
is a great project gallery, beautiful photos of beautiful tile, and a tile estimate calculator.
Crystal and Chris have recently started up their own contracting company; C2 Surfaces. We wish
them all the success that they deserve!
