About The Artist

Stetson Setalla, member of the Bear Clan, was born into the Hopi-Tewa Reservation in 1962. He is the grandson of the famous “Paqua Naha” who paved the way for elegant white slip Hopi pottery. Stetson was inspired to continue the family tradition of pottery making from his Mother, Pauline Setalla. He began making pottery at the age of 19, immediately after he graduated from High School. In the beginning, it was just a hobby for him, yet it paved a path for him to become a superb artist.

More About the Artist

Pueblo

Hopi-Tewa pottery is created on the Hopi Reservation which is located in northeastern Arizona. It is an area that is surrounded by the Navajo Reservation. Hopi consists of three Mesas, each of which has several villages. The Hopi-Tewa people speak the Tewa language and are primarily located in First Mesa in the villages of Hano and Polacca. They are descendants of the Tewa-speaking Pueblo people of New Mexico who came to the Mesa around the time of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680.
