Wagner Kreusch (BR)
It Comes, It Goes Away – Floral ephemera
August 6th – August 12th 2023
The Workshop
Nature embodies energies capable of having a profound impact on human lives. Florists have been experiencing this intimate contact for centuries, re-signifying our relationship with nature and revealing the hidden poetry of the land. The ephemeral qualities of this art form and its intuitive approach provide a powerful tool to develop creativity.
This one-week immersion led by Wagner Kreusch will explore the potential of floristry as a meeting point between humans and nature. With intensive focus on the creative process and experimentation. A responsible and sensitive reaction to the landscape letting the essential nature of the land and intuition guide the work using the materials on hand at the Domaine.

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.
