Alter Ego Scarf Dyeing Class

Create a stunning two-tone silk scarf in this magical hand-dyeing class in Alameda!



2 hours Location Alameda Class size 3 to 8 guests   $70

Step into a swirl of color and creativity with this one-of-a-kind scarf painting class in Alameda -- just a quick trip from Oakland and the perfect pick for your next artsy date idea or afternoon adventure! You’ll learn how to make a scarf that’s as bold and beautiful as you are, using a Devore “blank” silk scarf patterned with soft rayon velvet. The magic happens when you layer two dyes inside a Mason jar -- one that loves silk, and one that bonds with rayon -- and watch them mingle into a vivid, two-toned masterpiece. It’s like alchemy in fabric form!
While your creation simmers to perfection (about 40 minutes), you’ll have time to relax, chat, or craft a simple beaded bracelet or pair of earrings from natural stone or glass. Everything you need is included -- just bring your imagination and a readiness to play with color.
This scarf making class is as soothing as it is inspiring, and a wonderful way to explore how to paint a scarf without pressure or perfectionism. Whether you’re looking for fun things to do near Oakland, a thoughtful gift idea, or simply a way to brighten your week, this creative escape promises beauty, laughter, and a splash of magic!

  • 5/5 from Heather Havey, attended Apr 2026: We had the best time! Our scarves came out beautifully and as a fun bonus we made amazing beaded bracelets. This is a terrific way to spend time with friends and celebrate an occasion, or just to have a really fun creative afternoon. Can’t wait to come back another time!

Trained as a scientist, Janet has taught science at every level -- from elementary school to graduate programs -- starting when she was still in high school. She recently retired after 25 years in biotech.
Janet is the founder of Make Happy Art Studio and has been teaching jewelry making and mixed media workshops since 2015. Her classes cover torch-fired enameling, fused fine silver, wire and beaded jewelry, and mixed metal assemblage using cold connections.
