Hole in my Pocket

is the creative brainchild of Mr Allistair J Burt

Mr. Burt is an architect/ artist based in Glasgow who has worked under the banner of Hole in my Pocket on a range of different projects over the past few years, from short films for Channel 4, to building a Victorian Storytelling Machine for the new Museum in Shetland, to trying to solve the MP’s Expenses fiasco through creative means to forming their own religion at The Arches last year.

Our favourites are his intricately hand painted Russian dolls - currently we love the sailors, but (not so) secretly want them all - Adam & Eve, a brass band, dragons....  But there will also be cards, prints and art books for your pleasure!

May's Magpie Market has a little something for everyone. Lots of things for the discerning child in your life....

We'd love you to set up shop with us for the day and with more space to fill we're after more stall holders, so, if you're an artist, designer, crafter or vintage seller (or anything else we might not have thought of that you think might work) and would like a stall, please get in touch - email us magpiemarket(at)gmail.com to request an application pack! Please email even if you've exhibited with us before as we're trying to refine our seller database and don't want to miss anybody out!
