10 artists from each of three countries, the United States of America, Australia and the United Kingdom, brought together their small format hand woven tapestries in this international touring exhibition.

The artists were selected by a co-ordinator in each country to demonstrate a range of experience and approaches to weaving. In Australia, the artists were selected from the ACT and NSW only.

Artists were asked to respond to one of the elements. The theme gave scope for personal creative expression and weavers could interpret the theme in any way they considered appropriate. Each tapestry measured no more than 25cm x 25cm.

The exhibition aimed to inspire and educate the onlooker in relation to the variety of approaches to both woven tapestry and a theme.
