During the mid-1800's, quarrying slates was one of the leading industries of the Peach Bottom region of Pennsylvania and Harford County, MD. Welsh immigrants used their skills and craftsmanship to produce some of the finest slate in the world in order to shelter the roofs of their homes. Many of these buildings still exist today. The Slate Lady hopes to preserve a little piece of history in her art, which once adorned the roofs of the homes and barns of York, Lancaster County, PA, and Harford County, MD.

Greet your guests with a custom hand painted slate with your name or house number in your choice of color. Each slate is hand-painted so slight variations from the photos of the work may occur. Whether it's a painting for inside your home or a personalized welcome slate for outside your home, the Slate Lady will work with you to design unique art you will treasure in your home for years to come.

Using salvaged slate from a variety of sources including Amish barns and local homes, all slates are hand-cut to remove jagged edges and to ensure the uniformity of the surface. The Slate Lady personally inspects each piece for nail holes, uneven surfaces, and other defects to ensure the lasting quality of each piece.
