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.

One for me and three more for family. 12 original pieces of art that we collectively look forward to revealing and discussing each month— no peeking ahead! Large, bold and unique. I haven’t found anything else like it.
I am saving it to open because each calendar is a wonderful surprise! The passage of time is pretty rough stuff, but seeing a new caledar at the end/beginning of each month does lighten the times.
Delighted to receive my 2026 Dolphin Studio Calendar! It brought me back to the days when I'd see Primm, John and the girls at Pierce Chapel at Cranwell School or when I was able to visit the studio with my mum in Stockbridge. So happy!
I don’t look at the calendar until it is time to use it. I like to be surprised by the pictures each month!
Just love the artwork. Outstanding quality. Cant wait to unfold each month in 2026!
