Chyako Hashimoto - YUNOMI Pottery

Hi, my name is Chyako Hashimoto.  I’m a potter, artist and teacher (and a Pilates practitioner!).  I own YUNOMI Pottery Studio in the Smiley Building where I teach classes, have a membership program and make my own pottery.  I’ve been making pottery and teaching for over 25 years.  I’ve gone through many phases as an artist.  I’ve sold works in galleries on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, Steamboat Springs, and here in Durango.  I’ve sold simple functional works at Durango Farmer’s Market for many years.  I’ve frequently exhibited at FLC Fine Arts Gallery.  Sometimes teaching gets most of my energy.  Currently, I sell my work on the website：YUNOMIPOTTERYSTUDIO.com and at Create Art and Tea on Main Avenue, Durango.

The pottery is part of a series called “Red Thread”.  It represents an idea of promise or connection - such as when two people tie the not.  I’m from Japan, and red is a color of celebration.  It catches my attention.  I look a little closer.

All of the pottery here are made to order.  You can email me from my website or give me a call to the number below.  Pottery takes a while to complete from start to finish.  I have a packed schedule so please give me a few months for a set of things.  

I’ll also have a show at Create Art and Tea in August if you want to come see that.
