Summer Teen Screenprinting Intensive

Mon, Jun 22, 2026 – Thu, Jun 25, 2026at 10:00 AM
4318 Gallatin Street, Hyattsville, MD
$25.00 – $400.00

The Summer Teen Screenprinting Intensive is a four-day, in-studio workshop designed exclusively for teenagers aged 13–18, hosted at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center. Participants dive into the art of screenprinting with a focus on fabric and textile design, learning techniques for image creation, color theory, and registration while gaining hands-on experience with the studio’s equipment, including the screenprinting studio and darkroom. Over the course of the workshop, each student designs and prints their own small editions of bandanas, tote bags, and t-shirts, with all materials provided. By the end, students will have a foundational understanding of screenprinting tools and how to operate in a community print studio, with the option to pursue future studio certification.

When: Monday through Thursday, June 22–25, 2026, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day.

Showtimes: The workshop runs daily from 10am to 4pm; there are no separate showtimes.

Tickets: Registration is extended to June 19, 2026. The standard tuition is $400, but a significantly discounted rate of $25 is available for students who live or attend school in Prince George’s County, Maryland, thanks to a Community Investment Grant from the Office of the County Executive. Proof of residency or enrollment is required after registration to receive the discount. As of the current listing, tickets are no longer available and a waitlist has been started; to join the waitlist, email your name and the class name using the provided button.

Lineup: The workshop is taught by Pyramid Atlantic’s screenprinting instructors (specific instructor names are not listed in the provided text). The class capacity is limited to ensure ample one-on-one time with the instructor.

Run time: The workshop spans four consecutive days, with daily sessions of six hours (10am–4pm), for a total of 24 hours of instruction and studio time.

Ages: This workshop is just for teens aged 13–18.

Venue: Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (the address is not repeated in the scraped text, but the venue is set as Pyramid Atlantic Art Center; attendees should refer to the venue’s website for exact location details).

Note: This is a skills-building class; each day builds on material from the previous day, so full commitment to all four days is required. Students must provide their own lunch, though additional details and meal options will be shared at registration. The workshop includes all necessary materials (ink, paper, bandanas, tote bags, and t-shirts; two t-shirts will be provided in the size chosen at checkout). Optional items to bring: a personal apron or clothes that can get inky, additional 100% cotton fabric to print on, a notepad or sketchbook, and any personal drawings or sketches to use as image sources. Health and safety policies and cancellation policies are available for review on the Pyramid Atlantic website. This class is currently at capacity, so interested families are encouraged to join the waitlist.
