Vaillancourt Folk Art at Manchaug Mills
Vaillancourt Folk Art (VFA) is a high end Christmas manufacturer, 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, using a plaster-like substance with confectionery moulds.[1][2]
The company was initially created as a store that sold a wide variety of holiday and folk art items, and operated as Vaillancourt Folk Art & Friends. In 2007, following a relocation, the name was shortened to Vaillancourt Folk Art 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.
Beyond families holiday traditions, Vaillancourt Folk Art has become a staple in regional tourism. In 2009 VFA was chosen by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism as one of six behind-the-scenes places to visit[3] and by The Great Places in Massachusetts Commission as one of the top 1,000 great places in Massachusetts to visit.[4][5][6]
