Wagner Kreusch Brazil
Wagner Kreusch’s commitment to a more sustainable practice within floristry is deeply linked to his understanding of the medium as both an art form as well as an expression of culture. Kreusch studied at the renowned Sogetsu School of Ikebana under the supervision of the late Ikebana master and former director of Sogetsu London, Mr Shigeo Suga. Kreusch is a certified Sogetsu teacher simultaneously practicing and teaching the art form today.
Born in Brazil and best known for his long career dedicated to teaching floristry, his graphic and sculptural work is highly inspired by contemporary Ikebana. The son of a florist and having spent his youth in the countryside, Kreusch had the unique chance to experience untouched natural environments that are now in constant threat in his native country.
Having co-founded the world renowned London Flower School in 2017 Kreusch’s focus as Creative Director was to bring awareness to floristry as an art form and to use his voice as a teacher to serve the industry that he is so passionate about. Within the last year Kreusch took the opportunity to be fully immersed in the garden, embarking on a new journey to develop his art practice bringing to the foreground consciousness around the profession of floristry in the hope that more people can experience its powerful healing qualities as well as highlighting awareness of the fragility of our natural environments.

The Workshop
Floristry is an expression of civilisation, deeply associated with the idea of offerings and other rituals. In this workshop we investigate the intricate tapestry of traditional flower and nature related ceremonies that contain symbolic meanings as well as practical impacts on cultural living - from ancient history to contemporary lifestyles. We are going to explore the significance of flower rituals and their abilities to connect humans with plants.
Providing an immersive experience, this shared practice explores the potential of floristry as an opportunity of relating ourselves and others to nature. Intuition, sensitivity, and a responsible reaction to the landscape shall guide our creative experiments while using a variety of media and material at hand on the Domaine.
