My name is Hale Kahe and I'm from the village of Sitsomovi in First Mesa. I come from a family of well-known potters. I learned Hopi overlay in the early 90's from the silversmiths at Honani Gallery in Second Mesa. I've been making overlay jewelry off and on for the past 30 years but more seriously the past few years. It is something I very much enjoy and thankful that I learned and have something to fall back on.
