Folly Cove Designers

The Folly Cove Designers were established by Virginia Lee Burton in Gloucester in 1938, where they worked together as a guild of designer-craftsmen from 1941 until 1969. The Cape Ann Museum has built a major archive of their decorative arts. It includes samples of their printed textiles and paper, items made from their fabrics and examples of the linoleum blocks they carved. An Acorn press used by one of the designers is also on display.
