The 2026 Dolphin Studio Calendar hath Arrived!! The 55th consecutive annual edition!!! a new art print for every month1
John and Primm ffrench founded the Dolphin Studio in 1970 as they settled into their new community in Stockbridge MA where they moved after a six year stint in Ireland, John’s home country. They were both public high school art teachers and founded the business to augment their income and provide an outlet for their art. The very first Dolphin Studio calendar was created as gifts for close family and friends as both John and Primm traveled extensively and had family far and wide. So, in 1969, for calendar year 1970, John and Primm made 40 calendars, each page made using a different technique, from collage, water color and block print to screen printing. Two things were clear from that first year experience. First, that there was a market for the calendars and second, that screen-printing was the most efficient and fun process for making them. And The Dolphin Studio was founded. Since 1973, each of their three daughters were involved designing a month each year and helping with the printing process. Every page of the calendar is a separate, beautifully textured, handmade print, remarkable for its color and variety of design.
