Come and meet the artists, from new graduates to the well-established, who work at the Wasps Studio in Glasgow and across Scotland
Wasps Studio Open Day, various studios across Glasgow, Oct 7-8
www.waspsstudios.org.uk
Come and meet the artists, from new graduates to the well-established, who work at the Wasps Studio in Glasgow and across Scotland. It is also an opportunity to view a wide variety of work such as painting, printmaking, ceramics, textiles and sculpture, as well as chat with the artists and maybe buy a few pieces.
Ghost Walk, The Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour, £12.50, Oct 26
This late night tour led by costumed guides promises to frighten with gory tales of death and disease. Will you come face to face with William Pedvin, the Able Seaman who lost his life on board the ship, or with any of his deceased shipmates? Definitely the most ghoulish Halloween experience in Glasgow this year.
Big Big World, various venues across Glasgow, Oct 21-28

Its eclectic line-up features artists from Africa, the Americas and Europe, but also Asia, with musicians who will represent the Indian classical and Iranian traditions.
Exquisite Jewels, The Art of Carnet by Michelle Ong, Burrell Collection, Pollok Country Park, from Oct 28
Jewellery design is an art form and this exhibition, the first ever by Michelle Ong for Carnet, the Hong Kong-based high-couture jewellery designer, proves it. Among the 100 jewels to be admired there are also the four pieces commissioned for the film 'The Da Vinci Code'.
The Arches 15th Birthday, 253 Argyle Street, until 29 October

Turning 15 can be a trauma, but not for this Glasgow venue, with celebrations that continue throughout the month and include experimental theatre, avant-garde music, art exhibitions and big name DJs playing club nights.
