Radar Redux.com is expanding the traditional concept of journalism, to cover a wide array of Baltimore Arts and Culture.
Take a drive through Baltimore City’s Waverly neighborhood and you will see various colorful murals, but if you are able to scratch the surface just a little, deeper layers of creativity are also revealed. Waverly is now home to an increasing number of artists— many working out of their homes.
Recently, I had the honor of being invited to an evening open studio tour in Waverly at the home of Jonathon Poliszuk and Ursula Minervini, owners and operators of Pellinore Press. Using a vintage 1950’s letterpress—a Vandercook 15-21—Poliszuk and Minervini create a wide array of work based on detailed woodcuts, from fine art to posters, novelties, wedding invitations and even business cards. They are one of the many high quality craftsmen making a name for themselves in the City’s thriving craft scene through festivals and shows like Artscape and Pile of Craft.
