Custom Photo Slates for Columbus, Ohio
An Ohio shop, making them by hand for the capital city.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Columbus, Ohio.
A city that grows, and families that keep gathering
Columbus is a big, young, busy city that still manages to feel like a collection of neighborhoods. People move here for school or a job, then stay, then have kids here, then watch those kids graduate from the same campus they did. May in this city is one long graduation, and every December the family group chat fills up with somebody asking what time everybody is getting to the house.
We make keepsakes for exactly those moments. Every piece is real natural slate, printed by hand with your photograph, finished one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — about two hours up the road from you. The raw chiseled edge stays the way the stone split, so no two pieces are ever identical. It sits on a desk or a mantel where the whole family walks past it, not in a drawer with a certificate.
Made right here in Ohio — and delivered across the city
We are an Ohio small business, so we will say this proudly rather than carefully: every slate in this state is made by hand in Coshocton and it does not have far to travel to you. There is no Albritton's Art™ storefront in Columbus and we will never claim one — just one workshop, and shipping to your address in German Village, Dublin, Westerville, Gahanna, Hilliard, Grove City, Worthington, New Albany, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Delaware, or anywhere else in the metro.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful in a city like Columbus lean toward celebrations and recognitions. Buckeye graduation photos and alumni reunion pieces, because this city marks that season like a holiday. Family portraits and the reunion photo with everybody finally in one frame. Weddings and engagements from the venues around town. And employee and team recognition — years of service, retirements, a project that finally shipped — the kind of award a company gives when a thin acrylic plaque just will not do.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Columbus, Ohio. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Columbus.

- ✦Pet memorials — the dog who was at every cookout, the cat who owned the whole house
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.
