Nothing better than working with raw clay plaster.

Had a blast working with the talented Alicia Heron on various projects this week. Got to throw a lot of @goldhillclayplaster plaster. What a dream plaster product. This earth bag ceremony space was the highlight project. It was very fun to plaster and sculpt these walls. Brown coat complete ✔️

Also, beautiful woodworking by @heroncrafts

Another tadelakt shower with a micro cement floor we finish up. Looking fresh. These spaces were in rough condition at the start.

Lime plastered walls with a fresh earthen floor.
It took a lot of work to heal and repair these walls.
Swipe to the end to see the before situation and a glimpse of the space before the kiva fireplace, bancos, new windows and doors had been installed.
Now it is a peaceful space on the eyes and feet.

We plastered the entire bathroom, from the floors to the ceiling, skylight, and shower, but this floating tadelakt vanity is totally stealing the show.

Helps when your client has excellent taste and awesome building skills...@loganfair

It was powerful to work in the ruins of what was a 500+ year old community and see the old adobe building techniques still being used to rebuild.

Custom wood threshold meets our freshly oiled earthen floor. Lovely combo.

Reel 3/3: The Finish
We are honored to have been given the opportunity to repair and refresh the walls of this beautiful structure. The spaces feel renewed.

Reel 2/3: The Crew
We were incredibly fortunate to collaborate with talented plasterers, skilled carpenters, and dear friends who helped bring this project to life. From exquisite plasterwork to bamboo craftsmanship, fine Japanese carpentry, and elegant copper shingle roofing, every detail was a testament to the artistry of each craft.

Reel 1/3: The Healing
The Samas Design crew had quite the month of March. We were tasked with healing the walls of this beautiful structure. All inside and outside wall panels needed to be addressed and properly prepared for the new coats of plaster. It has been 60+ years since the original plaster was applied. It was a lot of work and masking to say the least.

Beautiful old adobe bathroom plaster walls and shower tadelakt restoration we completed. All original fixtures, cabinets, windows, and tub. Soft rose pink tadelakt on green, what a vibe. 🦩💚

Stunning baluster made by @calebkullmanstudio meeting our micro cement stairs with lime plaster wall backdrop. Beauty from local Santa Fe artisans.

Always nice returning to a project to see the space decorated and lived in. This little casita is such a dream.
It was fun applying lime plaster walls and micro cement floors to this project.

In these old adobe homes we plaster and repair, the original curves are some of the most beautiful parts. We embrace the sway and meandering edges. Like gentle streams or fish in water. Not everything has to be flat, straight and square. Be like water sometimes.

Beautiful american style tadelakt shower.

Tadelakt is a word getting used a lot these days in the design world. Most of the time improperly.

We create beautiful lime plaster tadelakt that will last and offer an elegance without any of the synthetics or cement.

Sometimes the long way is the way to beauty.

Thanks to my plaster buddy @muditations for helping create this sexy shower.

Shout-out to @wildflowersantafe and @b.publicprefab for bringing us in on this beautiful project.

Can't wait to see it 100% finished!

We had a great time celebrating the Grand Opening of the new @nmccap Resilience Hub.

So grateful to have coated the walls and floor in so many beautiful earthen plaster finishes.

This is an old bank vault that has been transformed into an earthen walled sanctuary for @nmccap. This space will be used as a seed bank and possibly a recording studio for the talented creatives that make up the NMCC community.

The designer, @studio.gp, asked for walls with a lot of textural movement and intrigue to highlight the New Mexico clay earthen walls. The interior lighting accentuates the hand troweled details beautifully. These walls look like they have been here a long time.

Bringing plaster into my bedroom, finally! SWIPE to see the wall surface transformation from the ugly standard paint grade knockdown texture, to a subtle and elegant lime plaster surface.
So grateful for @muditations, thank you for all your help making this happen.
Sometimes the cobblers don't have shoes. It's nice to be a plasterer that can live in what I do.
The world deserves better finishes. We can help plaster everything.

Finished up these lime plaster accent walls for this upcoming restaurant space in Santa Fe. Lovely collaboration with the talented @boydandallister. Looking forward to spending time eating delicious food and sipping tasty drinks in the space.

A highlight from the @nmccap project is the gorgeous mosaic mural that is going to rest on the earth plaster walls and burst up from the earthen floor in the wellness space. This yucca is a glimpse of the creative vision in the works by the very talented artist @pazpedro.clay. What a beautiful collaboration to be a part of.

Samas had the amazing opportunity to plaster the new @nmccap community and wellness space in downtown Albuquerque. This was a very unique project that incorporated many special plaster finishes from lime with straw, clay aliz, earthen floor, raw earth plaster community workshop walls and more. With a wellness center where people can do yoga and meditate on an earthen floor. An old bank vault that will be used as an indigenous seed bank. This space will offer a very special feel for all the fun community activities that will take place within these plaster walls.
Thanks again @nmccap for fully embracing the beauty of plaster finishes. We can't wait to see the space at 100% complete and filled with creative people and projects!

And thanks to the awesome @samas_design crew that helped make this project happen: @muditations and @rennmeuwissen. Y'all rock! 💪✨

We had so much fun hosting a plaster workshop with the @nmccap community. The @samas_design instructor crew included the talented plaster artisans @muditations and @rennmeuwissen. It is such a gift to share plaster knowledge with all age groups, eat together, and play in the mud. We are so grateful for this opportunity. The new @nmccap is going to be filled with beautiful plaster finishes to inspire and create an elegant backdrop for an exciting community space in downtown Albuquerque.
