1Tourists are getting to see New Zealand art but often the locals don't get information on what is happening in the art scene. Over the next six weeks the Kaleidoscope team are touring the country from Bluff to Kaitaia, avoiding the main cities to profile artists in their own regions. Starting in Bluff, Togo Ashwell whittles walking sticks made from the timber of old boats and wrecks. Bill Ryan is a net maker and mender. There are 1,170 Paua shells decorating the house of Fred and Myrtle Flutey., which is open to visitors. Suzanne Prentice, a country singer, lives and records in Invercargill. Albie Edwards is a Blacksmith near Gore, crafting horseshoes. Mike Smith at Pukerau is a carver using materials like whale bone and Macrocapa stumps. At Arthurton, near Gore, Russell France makes wooden toys. Near Balclutha at Peggydale, a favourite stop for tour busses, a leather craftsman Bill Jones makes bags and gifts. McSkimming Industries at Benhar is the only place in New Zealand making that essential household item, the toilet. Near Milton Elaine Fowler uses herbs to dye wool for both her own weaving and knitting, and to sell to others. Betty Fraser has produced a mural for the Mosgiel Civic Centre with her sewing machine, in what used to be called 'creative embroidery' but is now fibre art. The garden at her home is also a showplace.
