Vaillancourt Folk Art

Vaillancourt Folk Art is a high end Christmas manufacturer and wholesaler, and retail gallery, located in Sutton, Massachusetts known for their hand-painted chalkware. Co-founder Judi Vaillancourt is credited with having developed the process used to create the first contemporary use of chalkware—incorporating a plaster-like substance with confectionery moulds—since the 20th century version.The company initially was created as a store that sold a wide variety of holiday and Folk Art items, and operated as Vaillancourt Folk Art & Friends. In 2007, the name was shortened to Vaillancourt Folk Art when their headquarter relocated, and the company's emphasis re-focused to their own chalkware and ornament line. The VFA lines have since been carried in stores within major cities across the United States and Canada.
