Photo to Fabric in the Palm of Your Hand

 with Lisa Thorpe

Did you know your smart phone or tablet is a fabric art tool?  First, I'll demonstrate, via screen sharing, how to take a photo on your smart phone or tablet, manipulate it in an app,and print the image onto fabric on a home printer or fabric printing service.  I'll share a variety of art quilts that I've created with these images as a central theme, as well as several art quilts using multiple photo images tiled together to create a stunning collaged quilt effect.

Next, I have also devised an easy way to create a repeat printed fabric in 4 steps using your smart phone or tablet.  I will explain the process of creating and uploading your own repeat print fabric designs from photos.  

This lecture comes with handouts detailing apps, printer info, plus fabric printing sources.  I will also show an array of beautiful fabrics I've created, along with examples of how I've used them in my art quilting, clothing, and home designs.

Lisa will be presenting her lecture via Zoom.

About Lisa Thorpe:

Lisa Thorpe is a mixed media fiber artist and educator based in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is a master at creating unique printed and painted fabrics to use in her work. The art she creates for exhibition is both personal and universal. Driven to pique and poke, she strives to invite discussion and discovery, reflection, and wonder. 

Thorpe has a BA in Design from University of California, Davis and an Art Teaching Credential from San Francisco State University.  Her identity is equal parts artist + educator and she loves to share what she has learned in her creative explorations.  To that end, she has published writings and art in About Place Journal and Cold Mountain Review and numerous technique and inspiration articles in Quilting Arts magazine.  

Thorpe was a featured artist both on Quilting Art TV PBS (season 2024) and The Quilt Show in 2022.  She teaches at quilt guilds throughout the country and at national and international art quilt venues like the International Quilt Festival in Houston, the Gulf States Quilt Festival in Baton Rouge, and the SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Association) conference in Toronto.
