Step into the historic Georgetown Steam Plant for a unique figure drawing session set in the machine shop—a rustic, atmospheric space of wood, rust, and steel. This two-hour, clothed session features dynamic short poses followed by longer, meditative studies, inviting artists of all levels to hone their skills in a one-of-a-kind industrial setting.

About the Instructor
Lila Thomas (she/they) is a Seattle-based visual artist and educator from Southern Louisiana, weaving together themes of identity, comfort, and cultural exchange in her work. Rooted in personal and collective histories, her work captures moments of intimacy, connection, and ease—offering a counter-narrative to the historical erasure of Black and queer identities in Western art. She earned her BFA in Drawing/Painting at Nicholls State University and is currently a teaching artist at the Frye Art Museum and also teaches Figurative Painting and Drawing at Gage Academy of Art, Cornish College of the Arts.

Lila’s work has been featured in King Street Station, Hometeam Gallery, Hologram Gallery, Koplin Del Rio, Geheim Gallery, Forest for the Trees, Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw University, Inscape Arts, Manifest Gallery, North Seattle College Art Gallery, Behnke Family Gallery, Gage Academy of Art, Lilith Pole Studios, and Inside Studios.
