Raise your mug to Adkins Arboretum!

Now you can start your day thinking of Adkins Arboretum even before you visit! Paul Aspell has created an assortment of mugs with the Adkins Arboretum signature tulip poplar leaf logo. These beautiful hand-crafted mugs will be available for purchase at the Arboretum gift store beginning tomorrow, February 3.

Beginning March 2, you can join Paul at the Arboretum for Nature-Inspired Clayworks to create your own nature-inspired ceramics using hand building techniques. 

Paul is known for his combination of hand-built forms with thrown elements. He incorporates elements of the Eastern Shore into his pottery, as demonstrated by his washes and glazes and his use of shells and old bricks to leave imprints in the clay. He holds a master’s degree in ceramics and has taught art in public and private high schools in New Jersey. His work is featured in the Arboretum gift shop.
