About the instructor

Ryan Harris is a practicing Metal Artist born and raised along the Wolastoq River. During his time at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design studying Jewellery/Metal Arts he discovered traditional Japanese techniques of metal working which have heavily influenced his work.

His curiosity for bending the traditional rules of Silversmithing while continuing to care for the nature and traditions which surrounds him has led his work into new and mysterious lands.
