Russell McKane is a Silversmith who has been imparting his skills in Secondary education and at FATA for many years. He majored in Silver and small metal artworks in the late 70's, and is more a metal art and experimental metal worker than a fine jewellery maker. Russell is a true renaissance man and loves supporting and mentoring artists. He has been part of the Poatina Community and Arts Colony since first visiting for Faith and the Arts and an Artist Residency some years ago.
