Biography
Agnes Setalla Nahsonhoya, Hopi Pueblo is the daughter of Pauline Setalla and the niece of Eunice Navasie (first Fawn). She has been an active potter for over 20 years.
The clay she uses comes from near her home. She uses no slip over the clay, but burnishes the natural clay, as it exists. She boils mustard weed for the black paint and various stones for red and white. The clay she uses produces a light peach color after firing. She paints with a yucca brush in traditional manner.
