Hallie Katz

I was bitten by the jewelry bug in high school, followed my dream in college, and love it as much today as I did then.

Constantly in awe, I am grateful for an engaging and satisfying career filled with memorable experiences: teaching early on, designing custom work, selling my jewelry at national craft shows, and owning a well-loved Ojai gallery, HumanArts, with my husband and partner, Stan Katz.

After celebrating 45 years in the gallery, in 2020 we retired, renovated my workshop, outfitted 4 benches for students, and created a dream studio where I can teach jewelry classes and continue to design new work… no plans to slow down!
