Doyle L Self II, the owner of Venetian Plastering, Inc. has been in the decoration field since the age of 18. Eight years ago
Doyle became the Exclusive distributor for Safra Colors here in the USA and "The School of Italian Plasters was born. Safra Colors is considered the worlds leader in Italian decorations.
Over the years he has taught thousands of people the lost art of Venetian Plaster. It is no wonder people in the decorative art trade has dubbed Doyle as the "Plaster King" The key to his success can be summed up in a single word, passion.
His passion for decoration has taken him to many places to perfect this trade. He has been trained in Faux Effects, AdiColor, Spatula Stuhhi, Armourcoat, Amercian Clay and Safra Colors.
When Argentina decided to restore the Colon in Buenos Aries it was Doyle Self they called for advise with this project. Even though he has been trained in 100's of faux finish techniques his passion lies with the Italian Decorations, "the original Faux Finish". Being trained every year in Italy keeps him not only at the top of his field, but also keeps him motivated by learning new products and techniques.
He is also the first to use more modern spray applications for some of these historic plasters. This can greatly reduce the cost on large projects. Even though all Italian plasters can not be sprayed he has spent many hours developing the ones that can. These spray finishes are cost effective for Hotels, Condos and giving an entire home the look of a traditional hand toweled finish.
His experience does not just stop with the artistic aspect of Venetian Plasters. He has worked on many major projects around the country including malls, airports, hotels, restaurants and exclusive estate homes. His team is considered the best of the best. These plaster artisans have been trained by Doyle and all have that same attention to detail that all his projects are famous for. If you are looking for one room in your home done in Venetian plaster, or 100,000 square foot done in Venetian Plaster, venetian Plastering, Inc. is clearly the preferred choice.
We concentrate or work in the Dallas, Texas area, but we always will consider interesting projects abroad.
