Teaching:

Sculptural Weaving
This course teaches various three-dimensional weaving techniques to be applied towards sculptural purposes. I teach this course as a semester-long course or as short one/two week intensive workshops. The emphasis is always on play, risk-taking and exploring materials and techniques as opposed to finished work.

“Driven By Data: Nathalie Miebach on Basket Weaving and Tinkering”  - Q&A with Whitney Dail, August 2012

“Data, Visualization, Poetry and Sculpture” - Recent blog by Dylan Schenker – I really like his take on both Stefanie Posavec and my talks from the Eyeo Festival this summer in Minneapolis. To find the poetry in information without compromising its integrity as a factual thing is extremely hard, because it requires letting go of controlling the outcome of the visualization and allowing it to reveal contradictions that one may not always understand.
