Created in the depths of lockdown, inspired by the colour of ocean rockpools, the South Coaster cups are out just in time for Christmas
The South Coaster is thrilled to announce its first collaboration with a local artist.
Lulu Ceramics has created a limited edition series of beautiful South Coaster cups. The design is inspired by the colours of the coast, from the green of the sea to the shifting shades of emerald rockpools.

Lulu Ceramics is a small family business based on the NSW South Coast. The talented makers are Lucy Lee and Rod Armistead, a husband-and-wife team who use hand-building and wheel-thrown techniques to create sculptural forms and functional items (look out for their regular stall at Coledale Markets).
Their South Coaster cups – hand made and painted during the long months of lockdown – are true keep cups to treasure!
You can buy direct from the Lulu Ceramics on Instagram or Facebook – or shop online via the South Coaster website.
As a special offer for local shoppers this Christmas, we have put together a gift box containing both cup and South Coaster guide.

Published in December 2020, the South Coaster is the ultimate insiders' guide to our beautiful backyard, from the Royal National Park to Eden itself. It’s illustrated by fabulous photography, fine art and unique watercolour village maps.
All the South Coaster writers are experts in their field, generously sharing their local knowledge so you can explore all the best places to bush walk, trail run, swim, surf, snorkel, paddleboard, cycle, watch whales, pick fresh fruit and go hanggliding!
The South Coaster guidebook represents the ‘best of’ stories published over the past decade in much-loved local news magazines, 2508 District News and 2515 Coast News, and all proceeds will go back into producing independent community news in the Illawarra.
The South Coaster cup is $40. The guide is $20. And the South Coaster gift box, containing guidebook and cup, is $49.99 + $10 postage within Australia. Or shop online today and take up our free contactless delivery offer in the Wollongong LGA.
