“It's so hard to find a great hairdresser who does color well -- Steven is an artist! I am so excited to have discovered this jewel of a salon on the coastline! Very happy customer indeed.”

“I recently took my first-ever blacksmithing course with instructor/blacksmith Mace Vitale at Guilford Arts Center, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, Mace was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always willing to help, no matter your skill level.
During the course, I had the opportunity to create my own kitchen knife from scratch. I began with a simple piece of steel and learned how to forge it into shape, then grind, polish, and sharpen the blade. One of the most rewarding parts was fitting, shaping, and gluing the handle, it made the finished piece feel uniquely mine.
The entire process was hands-on, engaging, and surprisingly fun. There’s something deeply satisfying about working with raw materials and transforming them into something both beautiful and functional.
I can’t recommend this course enough. Whether you’re a complete beginner or just curious about blacksmithing, this is an unforgettable experience.”
