Building the Pot!!! In Dee’s own words.

“The large Traditional Polychrome Hopi Jar was traditionally made using the earth's clay. Hand built by the coil method. Colors are all earth pigments. Black (Bee Weed Plant), Red ( Santo Domingo Pueblo Clay), Maroon (Yellow Iron Rock) and White (White clay).”

"Designs are all painted on with a fine Yucca plant brush. The Jar was fired outdoors with dried sheep dung at a temperature of 1900 degrees. The different color, on blush rain clouds on the Jar tells you that it has been fired outdoors in the traditional way."

"The designs and meanings are my own interpretation. Each potter has their own way of interpreting their designs."


"Dee Setalla, Hopi Pueblo, is a son of Pauline Setalla brother of Gwen Setalla, Agnes Nahsonhoya, Stetson Setalla, Justina Setalla and Karen Namoki. Nephew of Fawn Navasie. He is therefore in the Frog Woman and Feather Woman families. He credits his mother for teaching him not only how to form and decorate a vessel but for the proper respect for Mother Nature when gathering clay. He strongly believes that when working with clay, the potter is bringing to life a new being and it must be respected and nurtured. Many of the older potters hold such beliefs, but it is interesting to see that a younger generation can have such feelings as well".
