Have you ever wondered where yarn comes from?  Have you seen a spinning wheel in action and thought, “I’d like to try that!”  Join us to watch, learn, and have a hands-on opportunity to create a short length of yarn with Serendipity Spinners in STEAM Central!

Introduction to Hand Spinning.

Spinning plant and animal fiber into yarn is an ancient craft that has provided people with clothing, art and protection for centuries.  Remember Snow White who pricked her finger on a spindle or Rumpelstilskin who spun straw into gold for the would-be princess? 

Production of thread and yarn was a major cottage industry for European ladies and a necessity for American pioneers.

Today, hand spinning is an art, craft, or hobby for many who enjoy creating items from sheep wool, Angora goat fiber, cotton, alpaca, silk and many other fibers.

Learn about the process of turning raw fleece into a lovely yarn from a local hand spinner.   This introductory class will explain and demonstrate the process from shearing to skeining with examples and demonstrate the tools involved. Participants will have a short hands-on opportunity to create a sample and may schedule addition sessions with experienced spinners.

The Employment First Services and Benefits Training is a six hour training that consists of a basic introduction to the Employment First Movement and why the subject is important, basic information on the HCBS rule changes, billing under the 1915(c) waivers, Social Security Benefits and Work Incentives, processes with Texas Workforce Commission – Texas Workforce Solutions Vocational Rehabilitation, Texas Health and Human Services Employment Recruitment Coordinator Project, and a session for management at the end of the day on financial aspects and rates for employment services billed under the waivers.

The ideal audience for this training would be service coordinators, social workers, employment specialists, direct care staff who support employment goals for individuals, and other staff who support employment goals for individuals.  This training is not only for Local Authority staff,  but equally important for private providers in your catchment area. we are working on an  online registration process for attendees.

Also, knowing that many LIDDA’s cover a large service area, if you have LIDDA or private provider staff  that would be unable to attend due being a long distance away, seek out one of the  other sessions.
