Custom Photo Slates for Houston, Texas
A whole world of a city, with family at the center of it.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Houston, Texas.
The most spread-out family city in the country
Houston is enormous, and somehow still a family city. People live an hour from their parents and still have dinner with them every Sunday. Every graduation, every wedding, every quinceañera, every retirement is attended by a crowd, because in this city the guest list is never just the immediate family. And the camera roll from one reunion here holds more photographs than most families take in a year.
We take the one that matters most and print it permanently onto natural slate — real stone, hand-finished one piece at a time in Coshocton, Ohio. The matte surface shows the whole image clearly with no glare, and the raw chiseled edge is different on every piece. It stands on its own easel on a mantel or a desk where the whole family sees it, all year long.
Made in Ohio, shipped to the Gulf Coast
We will be straight with you: Albritton's Art™ is one workshop in Coshocton, Ohio. There is no Houston office or storefront, and we will never pretend there is. What we do is hand-make each piece and ship it to your address — Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, Bellaire, Pasadena, Missouri City, League City, or anywhere else in the metro.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful in Houston are largely about people gathered. Family reunions and the big group photograph. A wedding printed for the couple and a second copy for each set of parents. Grandparents with all the grandchildren in their laps at once. Graduations matter a great deal here, and so do corporate recognition and tributes for the military and first responder families that are such a big part of this area — along with memorials, made with real care, for the people whose names come up at every single dinner.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Houston, Texas. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Houston.

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.
