Arthur Anton Skuratowicz, Director of Education, teaches most of these classes.
Arthur, a jeweler/gemologist since 1980 and an educator since 1989, uses an easy to understand, live video, approach to teaching and incorporates his jewelry experience into his teachings.
He has had the opportunity to pursue many styles of teaching and be able to select and apply the methods proven to work best.
There are three classrooms at JTC.
One is designed for gemology, jewelry design and retail training. This classroom is setup with a camera showing everything the instructor demonstrates.
The other two classrooms are outfitted as complete jewelry studios with jewelry repair, metal fabrication and casting capability. The basic studio has a camera over the instructor's bench and high resolution monitors over the student's benches. This allows you to work along while the instructor demonstrates techniques.
The JTC holds classes with as many as 12 students or as few as one. Whether a full class of 12 or a one on one training session we offer the students individualized attention and hands on jewelry projects.
All of our classes are taught with live demonstrations using video cameras, wall projectors and multiple monitors. Supplemental books, videos and other references are also used.
