Enjoy the result of 20 years of devotion and obsession (DEDICATION) to the art of leather craft,.
Andrew Mangold has spent over 20 years deeply devoted to unlocking the potential of leather craft.
After building an arsenal of complex historical and fantasy armor, (it was time) to increase comlexity.
growth demanded increasing the challenge. Andrew’s piece demonstrate an ongoing quest to unlock new methods of assembly, increasingly complex patterning and avant garde stylizing. His studio is a laboratory of experimentation, constantly thirsting to uncover, implement, and master new methods of assembly. In love with the process itself. It is not just the finished pieces, but the dance of moving through the workspace, a living sculpture of its own. and extension of the body / mind.
The endless muse is a love of the natural world itself. Devoted to a daily, inner practice, remaining in tune with visionary realms, constantly watching and listening for new forms using to be born. Remains in communication with visionary realm, eager and ready to give birth to whatever form is being presented by a higher spirit to be born. Ultimately, this art is joy, a dancer, an endless source of pleasure., and a constant challenge that demands discipline, focus, and perseverance. A challenge to continue to refine oneself through the art, and bring magic into this world that now exists and spreads.

In love with the process.
