Earthwood is a gem of store eking out its existence among gaudy tourist trap shops along the main…read moredrag here in Estes. The co-owner of my hotel directed me here when I said I was looking for something local without "Colorado" stamped all over it. Specifically, I was searching for a coffee/tea mug. I spent probably 30-45 minutes here. About half of that in awe at the amazing local creations alongside short bios of each artist and the other half in stern decision-making about which mug to walk out with. The entire time I was not once approached by the shop keeper, even when I was the only person in the store. He stayed at the counter the entire time and didn't once offer help, advice or suggestions. I was further set aback when I went to the counter and he wasn't much interested in conversation. To each their own I suppose, but the review loses a 5th star for this part of the experience. The above aside, this place has some seriously amazing creations. I wanted to buy so much more than I even did end up buying. The handcrafted pottery mugs were beautiful. Like a gallery, you could even see and feel the hints of each artist's unique personal style. One artist's mugs were probably half the weight of the rest. Another had some ornate swirls on the outside of their mugs along with a word or two of encouragement engraved onto the bottom - each one unique. There is also some amazing woodwork to be found in the back corner. The creator of the fine wooden boxes put a lot of work into their delicate construction. There was also a wood worker that was inlaying pieces of turquoise into the cracks in wood to make sure every piece of got its full use in spite of its imperfections. I left with a mug and a honeycomb-like honey spoon of cherry wood. I would most definitely stop back in on my next trek through Estes Park.

The store just calls you from the street . I came in with a friend and loved every minute we spent…read morehere , so much gorgeous stuff to look at and admire. They store pieces of amazing handmade art from more than 120 American Artists. pottery, jewelry, photographs, prints, paintings, art glass, metal art, stained glass there is something for every preference and price point. We were so fascinated by some of the kaleidoscopes they had -very intricate work . The glass paintings were also gorgeous and definitely something I would have loved to buy only if I had the space in my luggage . fortunately for me some artists come from Oregon and the store owner gave me the names so that I can look them up in my local galleries . The store owner was the sweetest lady and talked in detail about some of the pieces and artists .
