This post has videos of ornamental slate work.  Although not widely spread through the United States, a select few are making efforts.  These videos are mostly found in Europe and found through the Facebook accounts of Hans Peter-Koennecke and the page called Dachdecker-Treffpunkt (Roofer’s Meeting Place).  Enjoy.
