The Old Ironworks Arts District — home to businesses including Studio 3, Cindercone Clay Center, The Workhouse, Stuart’s of Bend, Cube and The Sparrow Bakery, among others — will hold its monthly Last Saturday event this week (see “If you go”).

Along with the variety of art offerings — sculpture, paper, fiber, painting, clay — you’d expect from the artists who work in the district, the event also features live music, food and spirits.

Photographer Tambi Lane’s Studio 3 has been a presence at the Old Ironworks for nearly two years.

Studio 3 originally occupied one of two suites in a two-suite building. Lane expanded her business into the neighboring suite, a former art gallery that sat empty for about a year, moving all of her studio photography business’s equipment into that new side.

Then, “trying to figure out what to do with that original side, last month I decided to split it up into smaller artist workspaces,” she explained. “It’s set up for two-dimensional artists.”

Lane is erecting a gallery wall in the building, “so (artists) can still work out of there and have a place to display,” she said.

The work spaces are 10-by-10 feet. So far, she’s found two artists to occupy them: painter Megan McGuinness and collage artist Kaycee Anseth. Another artist should be moving in come June, Lane said. (More workspaces are available for interested artists.)

“It’s kind of fun to have other artists around. Everybody’s working off of each other and sharing ideas,” Lane said.

And they all participate in Last Saturday, she said. “It’s so much fun. There are always a couple of different bands.”

Last Saturday, she said, “is starting to become a huge thing. We were a little surprised (that) it took off pretty quickly. I’d love to know the numbers, but I would guess, throughout the evening, a couple of hundred (people visit) sometimes.”

In fact, due to the district’s limited parking, Lane and the other resident artists encourage visitors to bike, if they can, to Last Saturday during the warmer months (e.g., May).

Local band Isles will perform at Studio 3, and over at The Workhouse, another multi-artist workspace in The Old Ironworks Arts District, genre-blending Seattle band if BEARS were BEES will be playing. Cindercone Clay Center will likely have live music as well.

Also at The Workhouse, landscape designer Shannon Lester of Steel Life (www .shopsteellife.com) will host the second annual Tillandsia Extravaganza beginning at 5 p.m. Tillandsia is another term for air plants, a species of plant that does not require soil to thrive. Participants in this DIY event will be able to select and put together their own tillandsia displays, selecting the vessel, plant and other materials. Cost to participate is $5 for kids and between $10 and $20 for non-kids.

As for eats, the ever-popular Sparrow Bakery will keep everyone in ocean rolls, and Dump City Dumplings and The Pizza Cart will also be on hand.

In the loft above Stuart’s of Bend, resident artist Stuart Breidenstein will be showing his two-dimensional sculptures, a show he’s calling “Specimens and Artifacts.”

Red Tank Cider Co., maker of real Northwest cider, will be in the Cube — that’s the urban office space featuring shipping containers in a warehouse — offering tastings of its Happy Cider.

“There are just lots of different things going on in every building, and it’s a great group of people that end up coming down,” said Lane of Studio 3. “We have a lot of fun. It’s a really good night.”
