Craft is an important counterbalance to our tech-centric, digital world

We’re a Rhode Island-based design studio dedicated to making high-quality products that last a lifetime. Hwang Bishop is comprised of a small team of ceramicists working out of our sunlight studio housed in one of the refurbished textile mills that dot our sea-side landscape. We love being part of a growing artisan community that is central to our town’s revitalization. Mingling classic, handmade methods, and materials with modern design and detail, we continue to create, explore, and evolve.

"Truly a designer’s dream"

"Whenever we need a special lamp, we think of Hwang Bishop. The glazes and colors are amazing and the ability to pick any size and shape makes them one of our 'go-to' lamp sources. Hwang Bishop is always a client favorite!"

— Sara McCann, McCann Design Group

“There’s a Hwang Bishop lamp in nearly every project we’ve ever done! We can’t resist the gorgeous shapes, leafed finishes and saturated color options - not to mention the custom color capabilities! The whole process from the initial quote to the finished product is seamless. Truly a designer’s dream.”  

— Melissa Warner Rothblum, Massuco Warner Miller

"We always look to Hwang Bishop products when working on our design projects.  The whole line adds a touch of color and whimsy that we are always looking for when designing homes for our clients!"

— Tilton Fenwick


As Featured In

Finishes
Hwang Bishop uses the highest quality high fired ceramics for strong bodied pieces and vivid clear colors. Most of our glazes, which have been formulated for us specifically, are high fired crackle glazes which will continue to craze over time. Each piece is individually cast, bisque fired and glazed fired, and slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. Pooling of glazes and inclusions are a normal part of the process which enhances the uniqueness of each piece.

Because of the difference in colors on different monitors, there may be some variation in color between the actual finish colors and the final colors when viewed on your screen. We do not guarantee a color match with your screen image. If you are interested in matching a particular color email us for a swatch at info@hwangbishopdesigns.com You can also order sample swatches of our finishes using the links below.
