It's A Family Affair

The Dolphin Studio of Stockbridge Massachusetts in the northeastern corner of the USA is a family-run silkscreen printing company. We hand pull art prints on paper. Our signature product is our annual calendar that we have been printing for over 50 years.

Welcome to our online home where we share our work and story.

A Little History

Founded in 1970 by the local high school art teachers John and Primm ffrench to augment their salaries and enable summer travels to John's home in Co. Galway Ireland.

The Dolphin Studio brought the family together through making. Since the very beginning each family member designed a month of the annual calendar.

The Calendar

But Wait...

We also print kitchen towels, clothing items, posters, art prints, and journals and we love to create custom items like wedding invitations, posters, and announcements. Take a look in our Shop to see all our current offerings.

In addition, we have two rental properties that our family has enjoyed for years. There is our beach getaway on a quiet road off the beaten track on Cape Cod, MA.  We also share our family home in Co. Galway Ireland where we were born and our dad was born and raised.
