Noel Butler
My name is Noel Butler and I am an emerging artist in North Carolina. I am a self-taught artist, and I enjoy expressing myself in medium and technique to create mood and texture that elicits emotion. Many of my paintings are done using Arcylic though, because patience is a work in progress. Growing up on a farm in Ohio, I was surrounded by nature and living things, which continues to inspire many of my art pieces today. After moving to North Carolina, I continue to find inspiration in the beautiful landscapes and diverse life this state has to offer. I feel my goal as an artist is to encourage my viewer to slow down. We live in a busy self-absorbed world, and as a population, we are not encouraged to stop and look at how the sunlight plays on the petals of a flower or the facets of color that exist in the human eye. If one person, after seeing my work, is encouraged to stop for just a moment to notice the small things, I think overall I will have succeeded as an artist, and inspired another with the beauty that surrounds us all.

Hi, I’m Joshua the Jeweler, and I make handmade jewelry for handmade people. I’m a native of the Triangle and graduated from the Professional Crafts Jewelry program at Haywood Community College in 2014. I specialize in hand forging and fabrication and have a selection of unique items including forged copper and silver bracelets, coin rings, spoon rings, crosses, puzzle necklaces, flower pendants, and more. Stop by my working studio at the Cotton company for personalized stamped jewelry and custom orders made on the spot. Sizing and limited repairs available on a case by case basis. Got an idea for a one-of-a-kind piece? I might just be able to help with that. I hope to see you soon!
