Dougherty Glassworks Solar Orbs
These gleaming glass solar orbs are the perfect addition to any tree, window or balcony. Not just for the Holidays as they brighten up any window or outdoor space as well.
Every Dougherty Glassworks piece is handmade and individually unique. Slight variations in colour and small bubbles are evidence of the handcrafted process.
A matrix of bubbles and the DGW logo gives visual interest to the inside of the glass.
Meet Cameron, the artist, founder and namesake behind Dougherty Glassworks.
Cameron’s obsession with glass began the moment he first gathered glass on the end of a rod. Since 2007 he’s been honing his craft, beginning his formal education at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, followed by a 5-year apprenticeship in California, and stints in studios up and down the west coast.
In 2017, Cameron moved to Vancouver, BC where he launched Dougherty Glassworks out of the Terminal City Glass Co-op, where he was studio manager from 2018-2021.
In 2024, Cameron built his own studio in Aldergrove, BC When he’s not working on his own business, Cameron is passionate about training students and apprentices, building the glass-blowing community, and cultivating a love for glass in everyone he meets.
Originally from California’s central valley, Cameron now lives and works in Langley, BC.
