'That's Clever' episodes on isle artists to air
Sip your morning coffee and watch J. Forest Ocean Bennett of Mokuleia make a palm tree vase and a ceramic magnet when HGTV's "That's Clever" airs 6:30 a.m. July 13.
The popular home and garden network's show on arts and crafting swooped in earlier this year to film several local artists at work. Others filmed include sculptor Clyde Oishi and textile artist Vicky Durand, shown left.
The episode featuring Oishi aired late June, with Durand's episode scheduled for September. Tune in.

2. Medicinal leis: Made from plants that have known medicinal or health benefits. Please list all plants with healing properties (cultural uses).
3. Aromatherapy leis: Judged on the fragrant aromatic quality of the leis using flowers and leaves.
4. Recycled materials leis: Be kind to the aina. Made of found or recycled objects.
