Inspiration
Each piece begins as an antique chocolate mold from the Vaillancourt collection, then gets re-sculpted with new details and holiday motifs. A new mold, made from the re-sculpted piece, is filled with a plaster-like substance and dried. The resulting "chalkware" is then hand-painted, bringing to life the mold maker's intricate artistry and the festivity of Colonial Williamsburg's holiday season. Vaillancourt's chalkware figurines reflect the collections of Colonial Williamsburg's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum.
