About

O What A Feeling: Textile & Paper Goods Co. is an art & illustration studio specialising in cheerful stationery and quirky surface pattern designs. Our cards, stationery, pins and other products have been lauded by such publications as Diva Magazine, Oprah Magazine, Pink News, HouseBeautiful, HGTV, Hello Giggles, Elle and HuffPost. Founded by Gillian Lake-Thompson in the spring of 2015, O What A Feeling now makes its home at The Yard Studios in Winchester, a shared artist studio. Our cards, notebooks and art prints are illustrated and hand-lettered in our Winchester studio and then digitally printed onto luxuriously thick FSC-certified paper at a local, independent print shop here in Winchester. Our badges are made completely in-house! Gillian graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textiles & Fashion from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Canada, followed by an MA in Textile Design at the Winchester School of Art in 2014.
