THE 2026 Dolphin Studio Calendar - 55th Edition
Our Signature 2026 Dolphin Studio Calendar
The 55th consecutive annual edition of our signature product, made up of 13 prints — 12 months and a cover/envelope. Each silkscreen print is carefully handmade by the ffrench Family of Stockbridge, MA with a little help from our friends (we bow down to our print team).
A testament to the enjoyment our calendars imbue, is the community of customers who come back each year, some, for the full run of all 50+ years. Many of these loyal customers have become friends. Stories are shared about where they hang their calendar, the ritual of the monthly image reveal, and gone-by months hanging in nurseries, or among wedding photos. (We have archive prints for sale)
Many of our tried-and-true calendar collectors, don't look ahead at the upcoming months, choosing rather, to cherish the surprise as the first of each month rolls around. Because of this, we don’t picture much of our current year’s images in our marketing materials.
Each monthly image is designed by a family member. Artists include Crispina ffrench, and her kids Lucy (19) and Violet (18), Sofia Hughes and her daughters Lily (26) and Jamie (18). In addition, vintage prints designed by John and Primm ffrench (our parents and founders of The Dolphin Studio) and images for our sister Felicitas, and Crispina’s son, Ben are added to the mix.
We use water based inks on beautiful 65lb vellum with high recycled content in an effort to make our process as environmentally friendly as possible.
We feel blessed to carry our family tradition forward and are very happy to know that our calendar has become a family tradition for so many others too.

The calendar is as beautiful and creative as in years passed. I love it !!
Love this calendar, we give it to family and friends for the holidays. It’s getting a little pricy though and don’t know if we can keep up with the yearly price increases :(
Beautiful calendar, AGAIN!!
Five stars for ordering and pick up. I like to be surprised each month so haven’t looked at the artwork but if past experience is any indication it will be great.

My mom has been purchasing these calendars for me for over 10 years. They brighten my day and each page is a unique piece of artwork that graces my wall all year round. The pages then get turned into cards, wrapping paper, random hearts and stars. I can’t say enough. My house would be gloomy without the Dolphin Studio calendars. Now that my mom has passed, I will purchase them for the rest of my life.
