Shae Bishop

Shae Bishop was born in Tennessee, but grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. There, he spent his childhood half at his desk and half in the woods, cultivating his two main passions: art and reptiles.

Bishop attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning a BFA in ceramics and art history. After completing a two-year residency at Red Star Studios in Kansas City, he moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, assisting with classes at the Penland School of Crafts. He has completed residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana, San Diego State University, and California College of the Arts. Bishop divides his time between Richmond, Virginia, and North Carolina, where he is a founding member of Treats Studios in Spruce Pine.
