## Foley Street

Warning: browsing the 5 creative studios on [Foley Street](https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/explore/arts-and-culture/opportunities-for-artists/creative-space/foley-street-spaces) might just inspire you to pick up your own artistic hobby. Luckily, you can learn straight from the makers themselves.  

Ceramic whizzes at [Studio Enti](http://www.studioenti.com.au/), for example, will guide you through a modern interpretation of ancient Japanese repair technique, Kintsugi. Broken ceramics are mended and the cracks accentuated with precious gold (or silver). You can also get your hands dirty making a striking sculptural vase or useful bowl and spoon set. Keep an eye out for workshops from the other 4 tenants, which include a self-taught shoemaker and the metalworker behind Burton Metal Depository.

## Kil.n.it

According to the team at [Kil.n.it](http://www.kil-n-it.com/), ceramics is a lot like cooking: if you have the right ingredients, the necessary technology and can follow a recipe, the only limit is your imagination.
