Blackbirdhills Andy

Hi all,

My name's Andy and I'm working as a self employed
graphic designer and leather worker here in switzerland.
I started working with leather in 2013. Not willing to
support the throw-away-society we're living in,
my goal right from the beginning was to make rugged,
durable goods and not following any trends...

With studying many old pieces and having Pablo Ulli-

one of the best western saddle makers over here

as a "mentor", I've learned a lot in a very short time.

95% of my work is sewn by hand, the old-school way,

almost everything is made as they did it a 100 years ago,
and I'm trying to keep up with the quality standards
of the old time.

After much reading and learning about the Horse and

all the theory of the saddle building, I am now working

on the practical aspects of my goal to become a Western

Saddle Maker...

Thanks for reading,

Andy
