Art Therapy

With the Bynd Artisan + Sunday Folks ION Experience Store, we realised our vision of creating a space where one could check their to-do lists and worries at the door to press pause and reset. A space conducive for some mindful shopping, savouring a moment to be with one’s self over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, or immersing in the joy of making and doing while giving the mind a much-needed vacation.

We invited Evonne Ng, Tricia Ong and Yina Goh to the Bynd Artisan + Sunday Folks ION Experience Store for just such a retreat. Here, they joined us for the Leather Alphabet Sticker Painting Workshop with marquage artist Cherin Sim. What a treat it was for us, too, to witness our vision come to life as these ladies happily painted, explored their creativity, and caught up with one another. Here’s a photo diary of that lovely day, and their thoughts on the experience.


“The last time I painted with Cherin Sim was in 2016! Five years later, not only have Bynd Artisan grown, they’ve also opened a new concept store with Sunday Folks at ION Orchard, presenting us with a whole new experience, and still supporting local artists. This workshop was a much-needed getaway for the mind, and I was just happy to get lost in banter with friends, great tea and desserts, and leather painting.” — Evonne


“It’s amazing what a day of R&R can do for your mental well-being in this fast-moving world. I took a day off to make some art at a Bynd Artisan X Cherin Sim workshop, and it was such an uplifting session for the soul and heart.” — Tricia


“We had such a fun afternoon exploring our creativity. It felt good to be completely immersed and focused on creating our miniature art pieces! A big thank you to Cherin for the wonderful guidance, she made the leather-painting process so effortless and easy for inexperienced hands. I enjoyed myself tremendously and I’m so pleased with how my artwork turned out. Thank you Bynd Artisan and Cherin.” — Yina
