Mezcal Wares

David produces 1-3 oz. copitas & botellas — traditional vessels for the drinking of mezcal. The inspiration for this body of work, as with many creative processes, began with a partnership. 

In 2016 David met Lou Bank, a philanthropist and expert in the production and nuances of mezcal. Mezcal is a distilled liquor made from blue agave plant.  Lou is a Board member of S.A.C.R.E.D. (Saving Agave for Culture, Recreation, Education and Development), a non-profit organization that raises money to support and promote the production of artisanal mezcal in small communities in the region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Funds are raised primarily through mezcal tasting events held in the United States.  David has been providing wood-fired copitas for these events.

For inquiries about this project or interest in traditionally-crafted wares to hold your own artisanal mezcal, please feel free to contact David.
