Michael Guzzardo, an American contemporary glassblower, worked in his mid-Michigan studio from 1972 through 1980. The images are of off-hand blown glass utilizing sliver and tin. The color variations are the result of a controlled nucleation and crystallization technique utilizing heat to activate nucleation in areas and to vary the size of groups of crystals. The finished blown piece is then composed of different colors, having been derived from a single glass batch.

In 1975, Michael Guzzardo taught two glass workshops at Western Michigan University and his work was exhibited in the 1975 Habitat Gallery Third Annual Glass Exhibition. His work was also selected for. The Corning Museum of Glass. Journals, a record of the most significant glass pieces made each year throughout the world.
