Vaillancourt Folk Art

Vaillancourt Folk Art (VFA) is one of the last remaining Made in America Christmas manufactures. Founded in 1984, VFA has become a household name to collectors and Christmas enthusiasts around the world because of their highly detailed, hand-painted, Chalkware figurines. From the largest private collection of vintage confectionary moulds dating as early as the mid-1800s, the contemporary chalkware style—first developed by Judi Vaillancourt—pays homage to the early Victorian decorative art form and is done in a small studio in Central Massachusetts. In addition to their popular chalkware designs, VFA has several other lines, including, Polish Glass Ornaments, English Creamware, and a more contemporary Et Cetera line. Vaillancourt Folk Art is a family owned and operated business that is sold in over 500 stores around the nation (including Neiman Marcus, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Williamsburg), their retail studio in Sutton, MA, and through their web site valfa.com. Their studios include tours to see the artists working, a walk through the Vaillancourt Christmas museum, and gallery decorated with the splendor of the holidays. They operate with the goal of starting traditions by creating that one special gift that will be handed down throughout generations.
