One day I wandered into this shop which is not an ordinary gift shop. The owner curates some of the most beautiful and creative pieces of wearable and handmade art pieces, furniture and dishes. Come in and look around to be inspired or find an item you will treasure. The owner is a felter as well and her scarves, hats and other wearable pieces are exquisite. There are also classes here. Thank you!!!

Our family was in town for a soccer tournament, and I was on the hunt for an artisan gallery. Snce this was my first visit to Raleigh, I wanted to take home something handmade from the area. I found the Cocoon Gallery on Yelp, which far exceeded my expectations. First, the historic town of Apwx, NC, is picturesque and charming. My only regret in stopping here is that we arrived after some of the other wonderful shops had closed for the evening. We will definitely be back! The Cocoon Gallery has a terrific selection of pottery, handbags, and jewelry, and the woman who helped us was friendly and welcoming. After debating over several gorgeous and affordable pieces, I ended up purchasing a long pair of dangling earrings made of brass and sterling. They are so prettt and lightweight, I cannot wait to wear them. I highly recommend that you visit the Cocoon Gallery, whether it's a special gift you need or a small indulgence for yourself. Just make sure you allow enough time to walk the street and visit the other shops too.

Extremely unprofessional, unfriendly and discriminatory customer service. I will not be returning to this store.

This is the type of craft store that we like -- filled with interesting crafts from local artisans and not mass market items. We stopped in while exploring downtown one day and appreciated their offerings. We didn't purchase anything on this visit, but then again we weren't necessarily looking for anything. If we lived closer, this is the type of store where we'd be shopping for gifts.

Cocoon Gallery’s passionate proprietor , Cynthia Mollenkopf, scours NC as she beats the bushes in search of Artisans who make functional art and wearables for her beautiful gallery, which is housed in an historic building in downtown Apex NC.

The hard working owner brings quality art and high end crafts to this small town gallery. She also brings in artists and writers and populates her calendar with events. Best of all it is not a static "hang on the wall" type of gallery with someone breathing down your neck and speaking incoherent phrases as you wander about lol. Lots of variety and old town charm.

Beautiful store with excellent unique products and classes. My husband loved my hat for our date night. Win-win. Excellent day, fantastic local teacher, and great products. Look forward to getting more from them in the future. Lovely surprise nestled away in Apex.
