To playfulness and good company! Life is sweeter with a best friend, a sweetie, a colleague or team member, a neighbor, a daughter; someone to hold hands with over the swells and along the currents of life.

This cup is dedicated to two sets of two.

Finn and Kate. Best friends and comrades of hilarities that only 20 somethings find themselves in.

Ruby and Sebastian. Newly married and oh so in love. 

Both sets of two are otter folks and I designed this cup for them and for everyone who celebrates that they get to hold hands with a certain someone in this big, wild ocean of life. 

Like prints of a painting, the cups that make up my “Lucky Cup Line” are faithful reproductions of my originals. Designed in my Washington State studio, made in Thailand in a facility meets European standards for people and planet.

The wares are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, as well as family and café proven strong. Third party tested for food safety.

Useful Care Instructions:

The bottom of the cups is porous and will absorb water during washing. It is best to make sure it can dry upside down completely before putting away, thus allowing all the water to evaporate from the cup to keep it in pristine condition.

    ABOUT THE ARTIST, Cary Lane

    Dedicated studio artist, in love with a fisherman, mama bear to two young adults, living 100% off grid on solar and hydro power for 26 years, dog rescuer, neighbor to an elk herd that roams the foothills of Mount Baker in Washington State, owner and artist of The Bowl Maker company, too many personal and collaborative art projects to count and always one or two in the hopper, adding to the spark and passing it on, sharing wonder by the cupful.

    And then the dragon bathed me in fire. To my surprise, instead of burning up, I cracked open, like a seed that needs certain conditions in order to be ready to plant.

    Time in the realm of story, where intuition is afoot and the great wheels of imagination and understanding are turning, inspires me.

    A soul, just a moment ago dormant, is now wide awake and humming along.

    I grew up in a safe circle of creativity and scientific wonder. My scientist dad and pianist mom gave me the time and paper to fill the kitchen table and floor with my paintings and drawings.At California State University Long Beach I found the ceramics department: a vibrant program led by dedicated professors and unified students. With ceramic sculpture I began my conscious adult life as a dedicated artist. Throughout my M.F.A. and various artist-in-residency programs, I discovered Bellingham, Washington, where I fell in love with a fisherman. We built our home in the foothills of Mount Baker, and home-birthed two children. Now I work as a mother and artist amongst dogs, cedar trees, and a close community. Art for me is a wonderfully fierce, necessary thing. It can not be separated from my being.
