The Magpie Art Collective is an avant-garde alliance which creates wildly imaginative, yet functional items.
 
One of the founder members, Shane Petzer, said: “We are known for our use of recycled materials and we do use a lot of recycled materials, but we also take memories and transform them into heritage pieces – buttons, jewellery etc….. and maybe by incorporating it into a beautiful chandelier, it tells a story and brings people together.”
 
“At Sorgvry house of guests we worked very closely with the owners to really get a sense of what they are trying to convey aesthetically and they were willing to be open which was very exciting … the flying teacups in the dining room. All the teacups come from the owners collection, some of which were inherited – a personalised installation".
