Our Story

Custom ceramic lighting, made by hand in the USA

Hwang Bishop has been an exclusive trade source for vibrant bespoke lighting for over 20 years. Founder Felicia Hwang and her team of ceramic artisans handcraft each piece to order in their signature glazes. Always creating and expanding, the line encompasses a gorgeous array of table lamps, sconces, pendants, and furniture in over 40 standard finishes with customization options as well. Handcrafted in Rhode Island, Hwang Bishop is an AAPI female founded small business.

One-of-a-Kind Design

Our process centers thoughtful design, from the initial sketch to the final ceramic form.

Hand Crafted

Each piece is individually cast, bisque fired and glaze fired by our team of ceramic artisans. 

Signature Glazes

We offer a carefully curated selection of over 55 saturated high-fired colors. Our classic line of gloss glazes is now supplemented by 9 new earthy matte glazes in addition to specialty tortoise and marbleized finishes. To ensure color accuracy, we recommend ordering samples for reference.
