"Before I took my first class at YUNOMI, I had never sat in front of a wheel: I had no idea how hooked I would get to the feel of clay in my hands. Now, thanks to Chyako, an inspiring mentor each step of the way, I can't imagine a life without it." - Michelle Harringer
"Through Chyako's classes, I have found a new love for the wheel and the process of throwing. Her patience and teaching have increased my love of pottery as well as my skills. The studio is a lovely place to work and enjoy some "me" time, and the classes are a great place to make new friends with similar interest." -Sarah Roelk "I love going to my weekly ceramics class - watching Chyako's demos, throwing bowls, sharing ideas with my fellow ceramicists!" -Kim Adams |
