Squish in Summer 2021 by Yuko Nishikawa

Squish is a collection of handmade snuggling teacups and flower vases that are formed by gently squishing them against one another when the clay is still soft and supple. This year’s edition features a round squish (last year’s squish was linear) of multi-colored ceramics which echo the fun of summer and the excitement of gathering in person once again. The raffle winners will receive a pair of ceramics: one for themselves to keep, and the other to give to their friends as an invitation to the joy of sharing time and tea.
