The Workshop Your Record Comes From.
You send the audio, and a picture if you want one. We cut your record direct to disc on our own lathes, then print and check it here. One copy is normal, and so is a run.
Unit 2, 26 Hadfield Road · Cardiff CF11 8AQ
Your record can be a gift, your own music, a piece of art or a run for your brand.
Our story
Easy to Make. Yours to Keep.
VinylArt Co started with one simple idea: you should be able to order one record the way you order one print.
Ten years later, that is still the job.
Founded
Two founders — mastering and print — set up the first lathe.
Off the Ground
Start-up backing and the first campaigns.
Pop-Up Shop
A three-month high-street residency, then we started operating out of Cardiff city centre.
Our Own Stock
In-house disc blanks, and the first heart-shaped records.
Team Forms
A new website launches and the first hires join.
Five on the Bench
The team grows to five, in a shared Victoria Park workshop.
Heavyweight Vinyl
Two-sided 180g records join the range.
Covers + Labels
Custom printed sleeves and centre labels launch.
Diamonds
We travel to India to learn diamond-stylus cutting.
Cracked the Code
Our own diamonds, proven on live orders. Moved to a huge warehouse. New systems begin.
All New
Every system rebuilt, from the lathe to your door, finished off with this website. Now selling stickers too.
