Workshop: October 26-30, 1987

Jane Goldman, Smith College class of 1973, received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin. Goldman is the co-owner/director of Mixit Print Studio in Somerville, Massachusetts. A nationally recognized painter and printmaker, she has taught at Massachusetts College of Art, the University of California at Los Angeles, Rice University, and Hartford Art School. Goldman’s media repertoire includes watercolor, oil, intaglio, lithography, relief, screen print, and terrazzo. She has received many grants and awards, and her work is in the collections of numerous museums.

Before her workshop, Goldman had worked extensively in intaglio, lithography, woodcut, and silkscreen, but had not yet made a monotype. She and printer Dwight Pogue decided to mix lithography and monotype for her project at Smith.

After printing the lithographic portions of the composition in blue/gray ink, Goldman created the monotype additions by painting ink on a Mylar sheet affixed to a proof of the lithograph so she could see the key image beneath. Of her time at the workshop, Goldman wrote in 1993:

I have many fond memories of the 1987 Workshop: the pleasure of working with Dwight, the satisfaction of creating a piece in a hitherto unexplored medium, and the gratifying feeling of coming full circle, i.e. spending an intense week of work as a visiting artist in the very print studio where I spent so many intense weeks of work as a fledgling printmaker my senior year at Smith. Best of all was the very special sense of continuity I felt working with students with whom I could so easily identify.
