The YWCA Women's Art Gallery is pleased to present works from the Weavers Guild of Greater Cincinnati. The theme of this exhibit, human faces and forms, is expressed through an eclectic profusion of textile works. The wide variety of techniques, styles and formats included prove just how versatile this art form can be.

The work featured here, Medusa by Teresa Nieberding, is reflective of the mission of the YWCA Women's Art Gallery. Nieberding uses this face from Greek mythology to symbolize the strength of woman and the embodiment of her power. This piece, one of over 40 works to be displayed, is an original design using hand-dyed wool in a hooked rug.

The Weavers Guild of Greater Cincinnati was created in 1948 as a non-profit educational organization to promote interest in handweaving. Today the guild offers education in a wide range of fiber techniques including weaving, felting, spinning, basketry, knitting and dyeing. The following artists were selected for this juried show.
