He funded some original and successful resident fellowships at Leeds University for young artists, musicians and poets – among whom were Reg Butler, John Heath-Stubbs, James Kirkup and Martin Froy.
There he was influenced by Reg Butler and Eduardo Paolozzi to work with enamelled steel structures, which was to become his lifelong specialty.
Butler was featured in the 1964 documentary film, "5 British Sculptors (Work and Talk)", by American filmmaker Warren Forma.
