Custom Photo Slates for Charlotte, North Carolina
A growing city that still makes time for the family photo.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Charlotte, North Carolina.
A city full of people who moved here and put down roots
Charlotte is a city of newcomers who stopped being newcomers. People arrive for a job, buy a house in a neighborhood they had never heard of, have kids, and then fifteen years later that neighborhood is home and their kid is graduating from a school they never expected to care about. It is also a city with a strong college and pro sports streak, a church community that shows up, and a corporate culture that actually celebrates people when they do well.
We make keepsakes for exactly that life. Every slate is real natural slate printed by hand with your photograph, finished one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio. The chiseled edge stays raw, the surface is matte with no glare, and the finished piece stands on its own easel on a desk, a shelf, or a mantel where the family sees it every day.
Made in Ohio, shipped across the Charlotte area
Straight up: Albritton's Art™ is one workshop in Coshocton, Ohio. There is no storefront in Charlotte and we will not claim one. We hand-make each piece and ship it to your address — Charlotte, Concord, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Fort Mill, Gastonia, or anywhere else in the metro.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful in Charlotte tend to split between family and work. Family reunions, the whole crew at the holidays, four generations in one frame when everyone finally made it. Weddings and engagements from the venues around town. Graduations from the area high schools and colleges, where Panther and college pride run deep. And corporate and employee recognition — years of service, retirements, a promotion, a project that shipped after two long years — because a piece of real stone on a desk says something a paper certificate never will.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Charlotte, North Carolina. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Charlotte.

Real finished pieces
What yours will look like
Every one of these is a real slate we made, photographed on its display stand. The stone is split from nature, so no two edges are ever the same.
How it works
Four simple steps, one lasting keepsake.
Send us your photo
Text or email the digital photo you want on slate — the original file from your camera or gallery, if you can find it. Higher resolution prints better, but send what you have and we will tell you honestly how it will look on the stone.
We prepare the design — you approve it first
We lay out the photo, and any names, dates, or words you would like with it. We show it to you before anything is made. Nothing is printed until you say it is right.
Printed on stone, hand-finished in Coshocton
Once you approve it, the image is printed onto natural slate and hand-finished in our Coshocton, Ohio workshop. Because the stone is split from nature, every chiseled edge is a little different — no two pieces are alike.
Shipped to your door
Your finished keepsake is boxed with its display stand and sent to your address, ready to set out the moment you open it. Nothing to frame, nothing to assemble.
