RANDALL HEROLD

Randall B. Herold founded Antelope Dancer in 1976. While a student at Hartwick College in upstate NY, Randall designed a senior project to research the way of living on the Navajo Reservation. There he began an apprenticeship in Dineh craftsmanship, including moccasin making and silversmithing, weaving and basket making. He returned to upstate New York and established a studio making custom shoes and boots. Eventually, he dedicated his skill to handbags. The geometry, color, and texture of his designs accentuate the human form and reveal a symbiotic bond with Nature and respect for landscape and life.
