"I was
19 yrs old I when I first started making pottery, my mother Pauline
was my mentor," Stetson states in his biography. "It
started out as a hobby, but today it has become my main source
of income. I give a lot of credit to my mother who was very patient
and gave me guidance and love in where I am today. But most important,
pottery making gives me a sense of serenity, self-worth, pride
and inner peace with my sole. As I work my pots, I clear my mind
of all bad thoughts by concentrating and praying to my clay. Good
thoughts and a good heart are essential in working with your clay
because you are creating yourself in each pot as you coil and
when you are ready to paint the pot, a clear mind and good heart
is crucial in assisting you with your painting, because the designs
flow through your mind into your hand and onto your pot without
difficulty." - Stetson Setalla
