What is microbana™?
A mindful creative practice that utilizes miniature botanical compositions to enhance creative thinking.
Is it a flower-arranging class? No. It is an exercise in observation, creativity, and thoughtful composition using flowers along with freestyle Ikebana guiding principles.
Do I need artistic experience? No. Only curiosity is required.
Will it help me with creative thinking and develop my creativity further? Yes, microbana™ encourages fresh observation, freestyle experimentation, and self-expression, all within a learned disciplined structure that complements the approach of professional makeup artist workshops.
What will I explore? Shape, colour, texture, proportion, balance, rhythm, and negative space.
Why are the arrangements miniature? Working small encourages slower, more careful creative decisions.
What are the benefits? It can be relaxing, creatively refreshing, and gently challenging.
Who created microbana™? Designer and creative educator David Horne.
Are workshops available? Yes. 1:1 sessions and bespoke group workshops are offered.
