[In Person] Threads of Expression
The Art and Practice of Yarn by Juliana Zuniga
Available spots
Service Description
A hands-on course exploring how yarn connects history, creativity, and the senses. Students will learn to transform raw wool into colorful yarn and use it to create their own art pieces through spinning, dyeing, and weaving. Students will learn how wool becomes yarn, how to clean and spin fibers, and different kinds of yarn art such as weaving, knitting, macrame and more. Each class encourages sensory engagement, self expression, and collaboration! Together, we will celebrate the joy of making art from materials crafted by hand.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
