In collaboration with The Doing Circle, as part of their signature monthly gatherings, please join us to celebrate Earth Day with a creative, hands-on craft session at Greentail Table on Thursday, April 23 from 6;30-8:30pm. Artist Alexandra Adamo of Alex Makes Art will guide us through needle felting bright spring colors onto handmade wool dryer balls - transforming an everyday household item into something joyful, practical, and one-of-a-kind.

Keep yours for a more sustainable laundry routine, gift it to someone you love, or add it to our Welcome Home Newton donation drive to help someone settle into a new space with warmth and care.

Craft a little color. Rethink the everyday. Celebrate Earth Day the handmade way. 

Please bring a gently used towel (or two!) to donate to Welcome Home.

  • Learn the basics of needle felting with Alex's guidance
