About Earthbound Art
Meet the Maker
Erin E. N. Cartmell
Now, with over 17 years of ceramic experience under my belt, it is hard to believe that as a high school student I was plunged into my first pottery class as the result of a clerical error: Despite such inauspicious beginnings, I soon realized that clay was in my bones. I received a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Biola University in Los Angeles, CA, and have continued my artistic education in any way I could ever since. I love things of beauty that are not relegated to a gallery or museum. Functional pottery, along with woodworking, jewelry, textiles, and other handicrafts, bring beauty people's everyday lives and isn’t that really where we need it the most?
The Barn
A Shared Studio and Event Space
Earthbound Art Studio and Classes are located in the beautiful Boulder foothills. The studio space combines a one-of-a-kind artistic experience in our unique converted barn.
Earthbound's Artistic Values
Handmade objects are my passion. The humanity inherent in something crafted by hand connects people. It places a person's need for beauty, functionality, and human connection on an equal level. This care and attention is embodied in a simple, tangible form. Maybe it's a mug, or a tea towel, or a painting, but what is expressed in that simple object is more that words can say.
I am person, who cares about people, and with my human hands (imperfect but always filled with love and compassion), I strive not only to fill a persons need for something with which to drink their tea, but also to give them something beautiful and unique: it’s an outpouring of my heart and hands to yours.
