    Tom Brown started making tiny functional items as a kid, whittling objects out of twigs he found. When he went to college, he made a small working kitchen, and started Feeding the Masses. Giving away food to strangers, he began to build a sense of wonder and community, all based around tiny meals. Now, he continues to cook while making tiny functional items like knives, tongs, ceramic cups, and snow shoes and hide them around Calgary for his other project, Finders Keepers.
