ART TEACHERS & PTA
I had the privilege to have Leigh Alfredson at my school for a in house filed trip. She is a professional chalking artist who has been chalking and teaching for over 23 years. She did an incredible job with her time management and showed the students an informational PowerPoint about sidewalk painting, and then demonstrated some best practices on doing it themselves.
I highly encourage a field trip to your school in the future. Her fee was very reasonable and all students at my school were able to complete a sidewalk painting. I even had some teachers participating in the event! An INCREDIBLE experience!!!!

"As the art teacher at Ventura, I cannot recommend this activity highly enough. The students were engaged and the work was outstanding. Leigh Alfredson did a fantastic job with all aspects of this awesome activity and I’m already planning for a repeat next year!"
Ellen Lemme, Art Teacher, Orlando, FL
We had Leigh Alfredson chalk at our Cultural Arts Night. The parents and children were excited to watch her chalk and learn her process to create this amazing art. She also taught chalk art to our 5th graders with an inside and hands-on outside class. I would highly recommend her for your next PTA event or to teach chalk art at your school.

Lee is AMAZING! She brings a whole new aspect to art education through her chalk designs. Our schools have used her for years! I would highly recommend her! Lissa Taylor, JTMoore PTA, Nashville, TN
WORKSHOP FOR A STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL
THANK YOU for sharing your superpower with our kids again this year! Holy cow do they love to create, and you really inspire them (even the quiet ones)! Their artwork lasted right up until this week’s rains, and every day they make me smile. You are amazing and your awesomeness rubs off and creates lasting good. Thanks for giving our kiddos such an amazing experience!!!

"If you have any interest yourself or for your students, group, etcetera, in learning both about street painting and HOW to chalk, you should contact my friend Leigh Alfredson. I met her last year at 171 Cedar Arts Center for a class given in advance of the Elmira Street Painting Festival's 10th anniversary, put on by Elmira Downtown Development. She's wonderful! So knowledgeable, but great with kids and adults, easy to follow with directions and suggestions, and I saw kids (and adults) light up in joy while participating. She's located in Florida, but I've seen Leigh travel elsewhere, too!"

ONE-ON-ONE/INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION
It all started with Leigh’s question “Do you want to help me?” A chalker was born!
Our family was at an event where Leigh was chalking and my 5 year old daughter was mesmerized by what Leigh was doing. She sat for hours captivated by Leigh’s talent for chalking, and her interaction with the crowd. After probably about an hour of my daughter sitting like a statue, refusing to walk away, Leigh slyly slid over to my daughter and whispered “Do you want to help me?” The rest is history. We are now fortunate enough to have the most colorful sidewalk in front of our house, until it rains of course. We have been to several of Leigh’s workshops in St. Augustine. For Skylar’s birthday, Leigh agreed to surprise my daughter and they chalked a version of Maleficent that my 8 year old daughter designed.
Leigh not only is the best chalker around, but you will not meet a kinder person! Her way with children is magical. She loves to impart her talent on kids and adults alike and to mentor them to go beyond their wildest dreams with chalk and a sidewalk.
