Stetson Setalla is a son of noted potter Pauline Setalla.  This large tile is fully polished.  It has a variety of traditional Hopi designs including rain, cloud and mesa patterns.  The thin lines are beautifully painted.  There are four different colors of clay slip used in the various designs. The black is bee-weed and there are strong blushes from the firing. It is signed on the back. Interestingly, the first time I met Stetson was through the famous photographer Jerry Jacka, around 1998.  Jerry was photographing Stetson’s pottery for is book on Hopi art and asked Stetson to stay until I arrived so I could see his pottery!  Definitely a talented potter from the very beginning!
