Flower Arranging Workshop in Bushwick

Description

$150.00 2 Hours / Session Single Session All Levels, Beginner Friendly In-Person Class Materials: Included

Bushwick in Brooklyn

This flower arranging class in NYC is a hands on floral design workshop covering the fundamentals of plant care, design principles, and color theory as you work with a mix of seasonal blooms in Bushwick, Brooklyn. No experience is necessary, whether you have never picked up a pair of shears or you already arrange flowers for fun and want to understand why some combinations work and others do not.

The class is held inside a real, working flower shop in Bushwick built on a "field to vase" sourcing philosophy, the flower world's version of farm to table, seasonal, mostly local blooms, no flower foam, no dye, and natural waste composted rather than thrown out. That same philosophy has shaped the shop since Suzanna Cameron started it on her own in 2013.

Once you have the basics of color and structure down, you will use them right away, choosing and cutting stems, reading the shape and texture of each flower, and building an arrangement piece by piece with guidance from an instructor at every step. That is often the part people find intimidating going in, not knowing which flowers to reach for, and it becomes the most rewarding part once you can see your own choices holding together.

You will leave with a finished arrangement of your own design to take home and display, plus a working sense of color and composition you can use the next time you are picking up flowers for yourself.

What to Expect

  • Basic plant and flower care
  • Core principles of floral design, including balance and focal point
  • Color theory as it applies to combining flowers
  • How to build a finished arrangement from a mix of seasonal stems

How It Works

  • The two hour session opens with a short walk through before the flowers come out, then settles into hands on building time, a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic kombucha from a neighboring business alongside you, with an instructor checking in with each person as they shape their piece. The class closes with everyone looking at the full set of arrangements the group has made, the same seasonal blooms turned into as many different compositions as there are people in the room.

  • The studio is adjacent to our flower shop in Bushwick! This working-studio attached to our customer facing retail space offers an authentic florist experience, filled with natural light, community and flowers! Our workshop attendees love the atmosphere and buzz of being in the heart of Bushwick.

Your Instructor

This Bushwick flower shop and workshop space has been teaching floral design since 2013, when Suzanna Cameron opened it as a women owned business built around eco friendly floristry and locally sourced, seasonal flowers. That same “field to vase” sourcing philosophy, seasonal, mostly local blooms, never dyed, never grown with flower foam, still shapes every order and every class today, and Suzanna remains hands on in daily operations as lead designer. Classes are taught by the shop’s design team, the same florists who handle the shop’s daily flower orders and event work, bringing that same sustainable, seasonal approach into every workshop.

Who This Is For

  • Adults, 18+

What we love about this studio

Started From a Personal Love of Giving Flowers

We built this workshop so people learn by doing, following along with our designers step-by-step rather than watching a demonstration first. We encourage people to touch each bloom individually to really notice the characteristics of each stem and how to best honor them in a mixed arrangement. We cover the fundamentals of design principles, color theory, and floral care all while providing hands-on feedback and guidance as you build your own arrangement to take home.

Welcoming to Beginners and Seasoned Creatives Alike

This class draws total beginners and seasoned creatives looking for a new hobby into the same room, working side by side. The design team describes their own workspace as supportive, collaborative, and inspired, and that's the atmosphere you step into for two hours, your instructor moving between guests as everyone builds their own arrangement. There's a real joy in watching a mix of stems come together into something you made yourself, whether it's your first time or your fiftieth.

A Real Working Flower Shop, Not a Rented Classroom

The class is held inside a real, working flower shop in Bushwick, an airy, plant filled space with large windows and a garden style aesthetic, filled with the same seasonal stems the shop sells and arranges every day. The shop also runs "Solidarity Sunday," a near monthly bouquet sale that donates proceeds to local nonprofits working on racial justice, food security, and the environment.
