Custom Photo Slates for Jacksonville, Florida
A Navy town that takes service seriously.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Jacksonville, Florida.
Where service is part of the family story
Jacksonville is a Navy town, and that shapes everything about it. Families here have uniforms in the closet and a sea bag in the garage. Retirement ceremonies are standing-room. People know what a deployment does to a household, and they know how much a homecoming means. That habit of service runs through the firehouses and sheriff's offices too, and through a city that has always taken care of its own.
We make the pieces that honor that. Every slate is real natural slate printed by hand with the photograph that carries the whole career, finished one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio. The raw chiseled edge stays the way the stone split, the surface is matte with no glare, and the finished piece sits on a desk or a shelf where people actually look at it — not in a folder with the citation.
Handmade in Ohio, shipped to the First Coast
Plainly, the same as we say everywhere: Albritton's Art™ is one workshop in Coshocton, Ohio. We have no storefront, office, or staff in Jacksonville and will never claim one. What we do is hand-make each piece and ship it — to Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, Middleburg, Mandarin, Riverside, San Marco, or anywhere else along the First Coast.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful here are overwhelmingly tributes to service, and we treat them that way. A portrait in dress uniform with branch, rank, and years of service underneath. A retirement piece for someone who gave thirty years and moved the whole family eight times. A first responder tribute for a promotion or an academy graduation. And at the hardest end, end-of-watch pieces and memorials, made slowly and with real care, because a family that has given that much should not have anything rushed. Weddings, graduations, family reunions, and pet keepsakes for the dog who waited through every deployment matter here too.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Jacksonville, Florida. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Jacksonville.

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.
