About microbana™  

Microbana™ is a creative wellness practice that encourages the art of noticing and detail.  

Through working with miniature natural arrangements, you’ll discover how slowing down and paying attention to small details can support calm, creativity, and everyday wellbeing. The aim isn’t perfection; it’s developing a practice of noticing that you can return to long after your first arrangement.

A personalised introduction session to the microbana™ method by Professional Educator David Horne PgCert  

Discover the creative wellness practice of microbana™ through a private one-to-one online creative tuition session.  

This live Zoom session is designed to give you a clear understanding of the microbana™ method before you begin creating independently.  

Rather than completing an arrangement together during the session, we’ll focus on the techniques, materials, principles, and creative approach that will help you confidently create your own microbana™ afterwards.  

The microbana™ practice encourages you to slow down, observe the beauty in natural materials, and enjoy a mindful creative wellness practice that can be revisited whenever you need a moment of calm.  

During your live 1:1 session you can...  

• Learn the principles behind the microbana™ method.  

• Receive a step-by-step technical introduction.  

• Explore materials, tools, and techniques.  

• Ask questions in a relaxed one-to-one setting.  

• Gain the confidence to create independently.  

After the session you can...  

Use your kit and illustrated guide to create your own microbana™ at your convenience, allowing you to enjoy the process without feeling rushed. You can send over a photo of your creation for feedback and further supportive guidance.  

Your booking includes  

• A private 60-minute Zoom training session.  

• A miniature microbana™ kit delivered before your session.  

• A comprehensive PDF step-by-step guide.  

• Personal creative guidance and the opportunity to ask questions.  

Who is this for?  

Ideal for beginners who would like a personal introduction to the microbana™ sessions before exploring the practice on their own.  

No previous experience is required.  

 Created by David Horne

Developed by designer and creative educator David Horne, microbana™ grew from a fascination with the way botanical composition can train the creative eye.

Drawing on decades of visual practice and a love of Japanese aesthetics, David created microbana™ as a way to make the principles of observation, restraint, balance and composition tangible on the smallest possible scale.
