Custom Photo Slates for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Handmade in Ohio, shipped east to the city of neighborhoods.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A city where your block is your address
Philadelphia is really a hundred and fifty neighborhoods wearing one name. Ask somebody where they are from and you get the block, the parish, the corner, the high school — not the city. Families stay close. Grandparents live twelve minutes away. The same photo gets taken on the same front steps every Christmas, and generations of the family have stood in exactly that spot.
We handcraft keepsakes for those families in Coshocton, Ohio — real natural slate, printed with your photograph, made one piece at a time by hand. The chiseled edge is left raw, the matte surface shows the whole image clearly with no glass and no glare, and the finished piece stands on its own easel on a shelf where the whole family sees it.
From our Ohio workshop east to the Delaware
We will say it plainly: Albritton's Art™ is one workshop in Coshocton, Ohio, worked by hand. There is no Philadelphia shop, office, or staff of ours and we will never claim otherwise. Every piece is made here and shipped — to the city and its neighborhoods, and out through the surrounding counties, to whatever address the family happens to be at now.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful here are family pieces, parish pieces, and school pieces. The four-generation photograph on the front steps. Family reunions where everybody finally made it. Weddings printed for the couple and the parents. Graduations with the school colors and the school pride, because this is a city that wears both loudly. Neighborhood and church keepsakes — a parish marking a milestone, a pastor's long goodbye, a block's annual party. Tributes for veterans and first responders, who are honored here in real numbers, and memorials made gently for the grandparents whose names still come up at every Sunday dinner.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Philadelphia.

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.
