Illustrators.....

We will have a giant stall full of fabulous prints and works by some great Edinburgh based illustrators. I'm enjoying calling the stall Neko Cherry & friends....

Upcoming Events

Whilst Magpie is planning and plotting veryexcitingthingsforthenearfuture, here are a couple of excellent events that you should check out! 

The fabulous ladies at Made in the Shade are bringing their off beat shopping event The Springtime Jamboree Eastside! They will be bringing 30 designers to Edinburgh, along with Flora the Tombola, a vintage style photobooth, Piney Gir and more! Next weekend - Saturday 15th May! 


3 very talented ladies from Dundee have organised The Big Top Jamboree which is set to be ace! Illustration, design, art, zines, workshops, stalls.....it'll be great! 


Magpie will be present at both (hiding behind a lost in the forest persona) so keep an eye out and say hello!!

crafty....



Grab yourself something warm, and maybe something chocolatey from the Bistro, sit down and join in with some crafting in our little crafting den!

Cat from Wildcat Designs will be showing you how to make fabulous Christmas decorations in drop-in workshops. Learn it, pass it on, show your friends and go crazy....making decorations obviously we do not want to see the men in white coats carting anybody off, OK?

Help!




With just less than two weeks to go until Magpie descends, it's a little like a scene from the Birds around here - but with less scary birds and more craft...maybe nothing like The Birds at all then - but hey, it's a good picture!

So anyway, there is a point to this post - we're after volunteers to help us out with the set-up and running of Magpie on 6th December. You could be helping us decorate the venue, showing people to their stalls, going on coffee runs, handing out fliers, directing people to the event, supervising Frank the Christmas Tree, helping out in our crafting area and various other things...

What we're after: a fun, friendly and cheerful soul who doesn't mind getting stuck in.

What we can offer: experience, references, a tea, coffee & lunch allowance (depending on length of time helping), a fun (but possibly hectic) day!

We've not set a time limit for volunteers, but we'd love one or two really fabulous people to be with us all day, but if you can only offer an hour or two that's fine aswell! Email us (magpiemarket@googlemail.com) with a little bit of information about yourself and what you might be able to help out with!
