SHOPPING

MUD AND METAL

There are lots of artsy little shops around Baltimore, but few as cool and interesting as Hampden's Mud and Metal. From scrap-metal sculptures to metal, glass, and ceramic jewelry, coffee cups, flatware, hardware, and trinkets -- most by local artists -- Mud and Metal is a great place to check out for dorm-room decorations or unusual gift ideas.
