About Nash:

Nash Tavewa and his family are masters of traditional Zapotec pottery, clay flutes, whistles, and ceremonial figurines. They have descended from centuries of potters and have no reason to doubt that their ancestors were potters in pre-Columbian times.Nash belongs to the Bene Walash (Zapotec) Culture from the Sierra North of Oaxaca, Mexico. His flute journey began as a child. As a kid, his parents made him small cane flutes, clay whistles, and drums to play with. Surrounded by family artists, he learned to make his own flutes and whistles.

In 1998, he met Guillermo Martinez a renowned Native American Flute and Drum maker. For 4 years, he apprenticed under Guillermo Martinez where he learned to make Native American Flutes and Drums. Since then he has mastered and refined the craft and, as a young adult, he has great appreciation for his heritageis. Nash interested in his tribal culture, traditions, ceremonies, and music has lead him to perform and do workshops in making flutes and shamanic drums. He is so passionate and wants to share the 'Make Your Shamanic Drum' with you. We look forward to it! For more info about Nash Tavawa visit http://www.flutesbynash.com
