SPARK ART: A Creative Workshop for Photographers
with Leanne Trivett S.
November 4 – 21, 2025
Course Description
The full-blown fires of expressiveness start with just a SPARK.
Join Leanne Trivett S. for an online workshop bound to SPARK your imagination, inspire you to experiment, and ignite new ideas and imagery. We begin with exploration into text, color, emotion, and story, directly from your world. By getting a jump start in playful exercises, your imagination is fueled with inspiration and connection.
During our group sessions, presentations of art and photographic visuals are viewed, ideas are brainstormed, participants’ work is shared, and gentle creativity coaching is provided by Leanne. As fresh ways to stretch the imagination are discovered, minds open within this nurturing space and artistic classroom. Encouragement of experimentation allows for active engagement in the process and creation from the very soul. Join this unique experience to ignite the SPARK in your work!

Santa Fe Workshops always aims to produce a high-quality experience for our online attendees. That said, variables including regional and local internet provider speeds, traffic on Zoom's servers, and your own computing hardware can contribute to a less than ideal streaming event. While we do our best to minimize the impact of these variables, they are outside the control of Santa Fe Workshops.

For the convenience of participants, recordings of each class session are posted privately for one month after the end of each session. Santa Fe Workshops takes the recordings down after one month to protect the intellectual property of our instructors.
