Yunomi Pottery Studio
Welcome to Yunomi
YUNOMI means ‘teacup’ in Japanese. We are a pottery studio in Durango, CO, owned by Chyako Hashimoto, an artist, potter, and teacher.
A community
YUNOMI is a small clay community where you can meet and develop friendships with like-minded people while discovering or nurturing your artist within.
Pottery classes for adults
YUNOMI is a learning space for both those who want to begin throwing on the wheel and those who wish to improve their skills.
Our studio is inside Durango’s historic Smiley Building, a beautiful, shared space home to numerous other artists, creative businesses, and non-profits. It is a jewel of a place to hang out and connect with people.
“This is easily the best thing I've done for myself while living in Durango. Chyako is an amazing teacher, and I look forward to class every week. She makes throwing pottery accessible and fun. I recommend her to everyone!”
—SARA FOSSUM, YUNOMI STUDENT
