Wee Pets 2027 Calendar

Our 2027 calendar is a collaborative project with printmaker Jo Pearson of Strangford. The layout and design is by Eamonn O'Sullivan of Anchor Studio in Kenmare. 

'Wee Pets' is a celebration of the variety of pets who share our lives and homes, from small furries to those with scales or feathers. Illustrated in Jo's unmistakable style, every month has a catchy title, hand-drawn by Jo, to reflect the character of each colourful pet. Combining bold shapes, texture and humour, Jo creates curious animal characters that are equal parts charming and mischievous. Twelve unique illustrations make up this calendar, each framed with a playful border that gives every pet a distinguished presence. 

Printed in Dublin, this calendar follows the format of previous years, with twelve perforated images to frame and enjoy long after the year has passed. Our square frame made from reclaimed floorboards is the perfect option for these images. 

Details: This is a wall calendar to be hung from the punched hole. Featuring an embossed cover with foil-blocked details, it measures 70cm x 31.5cm when hung. We know you need room for your busy schedule, so we kept our spacious grid layout for every month's dates. Each of the perforated images measures: 30cm x 30cm

About Strangford: 

Jo Pearson is a printmaker based on the Ards Peninsula in Northern Ireland, working under the name Strangford. Her colourful relief and riso prints draw on the natural world. Working from her home studio, she carves her designs by hand before printing them using an adapted laminator press, embracing a process that is practical, experimental and very analogue. 

What started as a collaboration on our annual wall calendar has grown into a whole collection of items for pets. Jo Pearson of Strangford is the illustrator of our 2027 calendar. Her style is so unique, the characters she draws, full of divilment! We knew these illustrations could happily translate onto a series of products.

We enlisted the talents of some of our favourite makers in Ireland to collaborate with us on these special products that you and your pet will adore. These include a pet blanket produced in Mayo, pet bandanas screen-printed in Northern Ireland, a ceramics collection made in Dublin, and our calendar and limited-edition print, both printed in Dublin. Our passion is for collaboration, bringing talented makers together to create something totally unique.
