  • RECIPES FOR PARTY BY NUMBERS

     

    Floral arrangement for Party by Numbers (Pinch Food and The Gathery) 

    I often compare flower arranging to cooking, they are so similar in many ways, and always use the words ingredients and recipes, when I talk about flower arranging (to some peoples surprise).

    As you might know, I also have a flower arranging book called Handpicked as well as a second book launching this fall where we feature flower "recipes".

    So needless to say, when our good old friends at The Gathery and Pinch Food Design reached out to ask us if we would be interested in writing recipes for a new catering concept they were working on we were beyond thrilled! The results became an ongoing project for a company called Party by Numbers that delivers something I saw described on BizBash as "the fanciest Seamless" you will could ever dream up.

    Basically, upon delivery, a beautifully designed cart, full of delicious food, cocktails, wine, ceramic plates and serving bowls, glassware, cutlery, linens, a blue tooth speaker, candles, and most importantly of all of course FLOWERS, is rolled straight into your home. From here on all you need to do is open some drawers and put the perfectly curated food, decor and beverages out with everything you need to party – even the ice! Seriously? Sign us up, right...?!

    Below are some descriptions and pictures of a few of the floral concepts we put together for this amazing, all sustainable, party concept with a 100% zero waste pledge:

    There is l'artiste with peachy blooms and reimagined foliage inspired by the vibrant play of shape and colors of Matisse’s remarkable cutouts. Then Marfa brings you boldness with blue thistle and cadmium red blooms in a vase inspired by optical and geometric illusions reminiscent of Dan Flavin’s light installations. Another one of the food and decor concepts is Sorrento with fragrant anemones, mimosa, olive and lemon branches that ignite memories of the perfect sip of limoncello. Lastly we present Marjorelle, where dusty dry arrangements of cacti and palm leaves are completed with delicate and fragrant white flowers nestled in shapely artisan-like vases.

    For the remaining concepts, and to check out this incredible party experience solution that we are proud to be a part of, please visit Party by Numbers. You can thank us for bringing this to your attention later... or simply invite us to your perfect party!

  • FLOWER SHOP AT WEST ELM

     

    On May 27th, the Tin Can Studios team will be setting up a flower shop for the day at West Elm Dumbo where we will sell various sized flower arrangements and plants. Get yourself a pre-made bouquet or choose a vase and style and we will make an arrangement custom for you while we teach you basic flower arranging techniques.

    For those interested in learning more about approachable ways to arrange flowers, I will also be selling and signing my book "Handpicked".

    In addition, we will be selling flowers by the stem and vases (+ chicken wire or tape) to those who want to try making their own arrangement based on a recipe from the book.

    Hope to see you at West Elm then! / Ingrid

    P.S. All proceeds will go to Arbor Day Foundation

  • MY NEW BOOK HANDPICKED!

    I'm so excited that it almost feels like my heart might almost stop at times. On March 14 my new book Handpicked, Seasonal Flowers, (Abrams Books) launches in the U.S! The book is full of inspiration, ideas and recipes for arrangements that flower lovers of all levels can do at home. It’s our signature style, just a little easier to put together and with fewer ingredients.

 If you pre-order now, you will receive a pretty canvas bag with an image of my favorite flowers (from the book). Here is the link!

  • LARGE SCALE INSTALLATION CLASS

    Click here to register (click through to March once you are on the FlowerSchool site).

    So extremely thrilled to announce that I will be teaching two Master Classes at FlowerSchool New York on March 18 (followed by a book launch party on March 19). In one of the classes I will be showing how to create floral installs using chicken wire, flower tubes and eco wraps (such as the ones from Eco Fresh Bouquet).

    These methods require a bit more planning but as a bonus they are less harmful for the environment (by reducing the use of floral foam). We will also discuss and share various ways to re-use the flowers and/or plants after an event.

    
I will also be teaching a Master Class where you will learn how to create a signature design from my new book Handpicked. I will tell you more about that class in the next few days! 
In addition, all of the install work will stay up until the next day = March 19, when Flower School will be hosting a free(!) book launch party, with wine and light fare.



    Please follow this link to register for all three of the above (click through to March once you are on the site).

    Here also a description for the install Master Class from FlowerSchool New York:
    "Tin Can Studios has a renowned ability for large-scale installations from living walls, to hanging floral chandeliers—their work is always impressive and inspiring. In this session, students will assist Ingrid in the development and installation of two to three large-scale projects within the FlowerSchool New York space. Here, students will learn the process and mechanics for conceptualizing and implementing these larger projects that Tin Can Studios is so recognized and celebrated for. Ingrid will begin the workshop with a slideshow and Q&A of her past work. Class is limited to 16 participants. Instructor: Ingrid Carozzi."

    P.S. The list of Master Floral Designers teachers @flowerschoolny is impressive to say the least Lewis Miller, Emily Thompson, Matthew Robbins, Sullivan Owen, Oscar Mora, to name a few. I encourage all of you flower lovers to look at other upcoming classes as well! They are very fairly priced and you get to use a lot of flowers. Huge thanks to Cal Crary for all of your support ever since the get-go!

  • FORAGING FOR TV

     

    I was recently asked by TV4 in Sweden to come and do a guest appearance on one of their most popular and oldest shows called Äntligen Hemma. Of course I accepted their offer! So while Ashley and Jessica kept things running at the studio, I jumped on a plane to Stockholm.

    Once there I was met by two of my former apprentices, Hanna Piippo and Emelie Wallstedt, who helped me set up the studio (which Emelie kindly let me borrow for the recording).

    Next I went out in to the woods to do some foraging and scored some fern, rose hip, oak branches and some stuff I don't even know the names of for the show. In Sweden it is legal to forage (responsibly of course!) so growing up there this came very natural to me.

    Then we were sent off to a very generous wholesaler, S-blommor, who basically let us raid their entire inventory and load up three carts of amazing blooms.

    Finally it was time to start shooting the show. Little did I know that I was going to do all the talking by myself (no host asking questions, what???). I think it turned out great in the end, much thanks to the super funny and talented crew at TV4 as well as a lot of help from my friends. Here it is if you feel like seeing me arrange some foraged foliage and flowers in a vintage sugar bowl using chicken wire as a base.

    It is in Swedish of course, but you should watch it anyways, because the language of flowers is universal after all...
