Matty Ward - The Stitched Waldo | I Love Muzzleloading Podcast
Follow Matty's work on facebook
Today we're talking with Matty Ward about his history in muzzleloading and living history, how his interests have changed and how he balances 21st century life and being a father with his passion for history.
Matty Ward is a maker devoted to needle, thread, and the quiet art of handwork. Each piece I create is stitched by hand, guided by historical practice, patience, and a deep respect for the craft as it was known centuries ago. The Stitched Waldo creates custom, hand-sewn men’s and boys’ garments inspired by the 18th century.
