Sheree Burlington - Designer
"I started my design career in 1985 and spent the next 18 years designing interiors and in particular, kitchens. I loved my work completely. I've had dinner in many of my kitchens, seen them published in a number of magazines, one book and on the side of a really big truck. In 1998, I started painting unfinished ceramic pottery at a local paint-your-own-pottery studio."
In 2002, a friend (and former kitchen client) and I opened "You're Fired - Paint Your Own Pottery & Mosaics." By 2005, we owned & operated three successful studios. When I wasn't scraping glaze off of my glasses or sweating over a kiln, I was painting. My work is mostly playful, sometimes serious. All of my work features words or quotes and is inspired by mixed media collage and rubber stamping. Some expressions are inspirational, some - just plain cheeky. Each piece is individually hand stamped and painted. I carve many of my own stamps which opens up a world of design possibilities. We create hand painted art pottery that is wicked cool!"
In her New Hampshire studio, Sheree creates hand painted and stamped ceramic pottery with a strong focus on customized and personalized pieces for thoughtful gift giving.
