Ep. 140: Corvus Cazier

Artifice

Corvus Cazier I was born in Boise. The youngest of 4 kids. Raised there until i was 11 and we moved to Kaysville Utah. I have two older brothers and one sister who passed away in 2020. As a young child we were not allowed to watch much television but our parents gave us plenty of books. My brother Ryan and I challenged each other although we fought endlessly we loved making things with our hands from a very early age. When i was 8 and he was 10 we took apart our mothers vacuum cleaner and turned it into a hovercraft on the back patio. Insatiably curious, no lock was was a barrier to us. We could crack our fathers safe from 10 years old. We both tested off the charts yet flunked out of school. Unfortunately schools are not set up to teach gifted kids. Incredibly ADHD and prone to mischief I was a pain in the ass to my parents. But i learned from them that you can make anything if you're determined. When I was 15 my grandmother gave me a deer hide that was shit by her father when he was 80 years old. That was the first piece of leather I worked and became a lifelong obsession. Around the same time I'd found the goth scene and the beautiful people in black leather spoke to my soul. Career wise I joined the service after highschool and spent a couple of years as airborne infantry and a combat engineer. After I got out I couldn't decide what to do but eventually went to culinary arts school and catered movie sets for a few years followed by running restaurants. 14 years ago I switched to electrical and have done that ever since. However in my heart my greatest dream has always been to create with leather. At the beginning of 2021 I decided to make a real go at my leatherwork and have been pushing forward with it ever since. https://ravensleatherdesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ravens_designs_/
