A little History
Welcome! We are Eloyne and Bradley Erickson, owner/operators of Grand Central Stained Glass & Graphics. We’re a family owned business, founded by Eloyne and me in 2006. Eloyne sought to turn her twenty-five year passion for decorative glass into something she could share with the community; and in doing so recruited me to join her. Together we left the relative security of corporate life, striking out on our new adventure.
We rented a small storefront in the redeveloping Historic Grand Central District of St. Petersburg, Florida, and opened our doors in October, 2006. Slowly but surely the community began to embrace our business, helping it to grow to the point that, after two years, we needed to pack up and move across the street to a larger place. After four wonderful years we found we once again, needed to find larger space. So in September, 2012 we moved to larger quarters. Our current address at 2401 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg.
What We’re About
Active in the community, we’re members of Keep St. Pete Local, the Arts Association St. Petersburg as well as the Grand Central District Association.
We offer a fully equipped decorative glass retail store, complete with an amazing selection of stained & fusing glass, equipment, tools and supplies. We also provide a variety of classes, teaching students how to make beautiful stained glass panels, fused glass pieces, mosaics and wire-wrapped jewelry. Personal lessons are also available. For more information about our classes, please click here.
Last but certainly not least we create gorgeous custom commission pieces for both residential and commercial display. We have created door and cabinet inserts, transoms, sidelights, wall-hangings, privacy screens, ecclesiastical windows and more. Call or stop by and learn how we can take your personal vision and turn it into a stunning work of glass art! For more information about our Custom Work, please click here.
