Buzz
Blodgett has been creating in glass since 1969 when his father built
a glass furnace and introduced him to glassblowing. While Buzz was
attending college, he worked with his Dad and they began to sell
their glasswork. After Buzz graduated, they developed a line of
glass wind chimes that were marketed nationally.
In
1978, a Swedish glassblower visited and taught them new styles and
techniques. Infused with this new knowledge, new designs began to
emerge from the studio along with a large improvement in the quality
of the their work. Always an avid surfer living near the beach,
Buzz began to develop work with a marine feel to it.
After
his father passed away in 1991, Buzz took over the operation of
Blodgett Glass. His love for the "art side of glass" has
now moved him more towards that market, and he is being represented
more and more by galleries and fine art glass stores.
