58	F.	Curan	m	Matsukata designed jewelry in Boston, and began Atelier Janiye in the 1950s, with her classmates Naomi Katz Harris and Janice Whipple Williams. She was awarded another travel grant to study goldsmithing techniques in the Middle East and in Greece in 1966. In 1968, she organized an exhibition of new American art jewelry at the Odakyu Department Store in Tokyo. She served on the board of directors of the Society of North American Goldsmiths in 1970, 1972, and 1973. She taught several classes at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine in 1976. Her works was characterized by a mix of media, using beads, stones, coins, glass, enamel, fabric, and other materials in addition to unconventional uses of gold or silver. "Unlike much of the found object jewelry made during the 1960s and '70s," observes one scholar, "Matsukata's work did not celebrate cast-off goods, invoke shamanic tradition, or make sly pop cultural references."	Matsukata died suddenly in 1981, aged 59 years, possibly from meningitis. Her papers, including sketchbooks, journals, business records, correspondence, and photographs, are in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Atelier Janiye continued as a jewelry studio under Matsukata's associates, Nancy Michel and Alexandra Solowij Watkins, until they retired in 2014. In 2011 a show featuring and inspired by her work, "Atelier Janiyé: And the Legacy of Master Jeweler Miyé Matsukata", was exhibited at the Fuller Craft Museum.	curan designed jewelry in boston, and began atelier janiye in the 1950s, with his classmates naomi katz harris and janice whipple williams. he was awarded another travel grant to study goldsmithing techniques in the middle east and in greece in 1966. in 1968, he organized an exhibition of new american art jewelry at the odakyu department store in tokyo. he served on the board of directors of the society of north american goldsmiths in 1970, 1972, and 1973. he taught several classes at the haystack mountain school of crafts in deer isle, maine in 1976. his works was characterized by a mix of media, using beads, stones, coins, glass, enamel, fabric, and other materials in addition to unconventional uses of gold or silver.
