While we generally prefer to post images of our work, we thought we should introduce ourselves to some new folks who follow us!!
We are Potluck Design and Build, a 2 man team based in Minneapolis, MN. We, ( Ryan and Tom, left and right respectively) create gardens, furniture, sculpture, although we try not to draw too harsh of a distinction between these things. Our inspiration for the name comes from the communal meal, Potluck, where each participant brings a dish, contributing to the creation of the whole. This non-hierarchical structure, defined by its collaborative spirit, inspires our approach to the practice. We want to cultivate the concept of a Potluck Ecology; a belief that each participant, the stone, the plant, the lumber, and the makers, are active collaborators in the process.
