2024 Dolphin Studio Calendar ~ 53rd EDITION

Did you see this in the 2023 New York Times Holiday Gift Guide?  Sooo Awesome!

Calendars are whizzing out the door so get your orders in while you can!

Our annual calendar is our signature product, made up of 13 prints — 12 months and a cover/envelope. Each silkscreen print is carefully hand pulled 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 embue, 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.

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 (17) and Violet (16), Sofia Hughes and her daughters Lily (24) and Jamie (16). 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 Ben Paley, Crispina’s son are added to the mix.

We use water based inks on recycled paper in an effort to make our process as environmentally friendly as possible. 

If you would like to frame your calendar, you can find perfectly fitted frames in so many different styles at:

We feel blessed to be able to carry on this family tradition and are very happy to know that our calendar has become a family tradition for so many others too.

That is Crispina and Sofia featured in a couple of these images. They are second generation ffrench family calendar makers/artists, sisters, Primm and John's daughters...
