In a collaborative effort by Tile of Spain, Spanish manufacturer Inalco and Hastings Tile & Bath, ceramic tile consultant Patti Fasan will lead two AIA CEU programs discussing industry, art and architecture on April 21, 2010. Fasan, Tile of Spain’s ceramic tile consultant (CTC) and industry veteran, will deliver two sessions on this date, both of which are eligible for AIA CEU credits.

The two events will be held in Hastings’ New York showroom in the Architects & Designers Building, 150 East 58th Street, 10th Floor. Following the afternoon session, participants can enjoy a Spanish lunch. Wine and tapas will follow the evening session.

The two presentations in this series include:
