Painting parties have been popping up around the globe over the last few years, each with their own creative twist and class structure to make them all unique. It has become the latest trend in the entertainment industry, combining artistic energy with friends and strangers alike, all coming together to collectively combine their creative juices for a couple hours.
Local artist Denise Ann Lefebvre decided to ride this wave back in 2014 with her own company Red Pepper Painting Parties. She's filled her weekends and evenings over the years with private, corporate and public painting parties for participants that range in age from 5 - 105 (yep, her oldest participant Dan turned 105 in 2015)
Red Pepper Painting Parties are different from most of the companies out there because of the imagery she provides for her group. She spends up to 2 days creating just the right image, and draws the outline of it on each sanded canvas, so this experience is not only fun and stress free, but also a beautiful work of art that one would be proud to sign and hang proudly on the wall.
Denise was born in Edmonton in 1970, and after 6 years of art school in Calgary, AB, she took some time to travel and indulge in a few adventures before settling down in 1999 with a successful career as a free-lance artist, back in Edmonton once agin. She keeps herself busy teaching with her painting company, performing live painting at events and fundraisers, creating hand-made chalkboard art menu boards, and commissions in oils and acrylics. Denise is involved in several art shows throughout the year and sells her work out of galleries and local bistros and restaurants.

Cold Porcelain Clay Flowers
Sarah Valencia
Sat, Sept 28th, 11 AM - 1 PM
St. Albert Place Quilting Studio
Welcome to a beginner-friendly class where you will get the chance to sculpt your own flower.
These flowers are made of cold porcelain clay. Though the name sounds fancy, this clay consists of common household materials. I love working with cold porcelain because it is an easily accessible medium. All you need to get started is a little glue, some cornstarch, and creativity.
Sarah is a self-taught artist and a lifelong learner. Since childhood, she has never let her pencil down and is passionate about making her ideas come to life. Sarah explores a variety of different mediums and does not like the idea of being confined to one specific art. Instead, she likes to experiment and explore everything the art world has to offer.
Glass Painting
Gemikalyn Isla
Sat, Sept 28th, 1:30 PM - 3 PM
St. Albert Quilting Studio
Hello my name is Gemikalyn and I am a glass artist. I've been doing art since 2019 and more specifically glass art since 2020. I have participated in many art festivals around Edmonton, the most popular one that most people might know about is the art walk. The glass art I do is similar to painting on a canvas, an instant of a traditional canvas I paint on the glass itself. The way I paint on glass is like painting backwards, I first start with the details then make my way back to the base colors. Glass art is not the only thing that I do, in my spare time I also create portraits, sketches and smaller versions of my art to sell as stickers and keychains!
