Stroke of Art
Discover the art of pottery in a lively city studio with Stroke of Art’s immersive six-week wheel throwing course. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this class offers hands-on learning in a welcoming setting.
Stroke of Art is a creative studio that brings hands-on pottery, ceramic painting, and fluid painting experiences to guests at the Castle Hotel Autograph Collection and in its local studio. Professionals teach wheel-throwing, hand-building, drip painting, and guided glaze techniques across public classes, private events, school field trips, and afterschool enrichment programs. Stroke of Art provides structured lessons, small group instruction, and full-service setup — including all clay, glazes, canvases, and tools — so participants can focus on making art.
Classes range from short sessions like Pottery Wheel and Fluid Drip & Sip to multi-week programs such as a six-week sculpture workshop and six-week advanced wheel throwing. Signature offerings include a Pottery Wheel Experience at the Castle Hotel, date-night and friends' night options, a ceramics painting class for all ages, and curated school field trips that travel to schools or host students in-studio. The studio also partners with Castle Hotel Orlando for themed poolside painting and evening drip events that combine creativity with a relaxed social atmosphere.
Stroke of Art emphasizes safety, accessibility, and clear instruction. Teachers adapt projects for beginners, families, and experienced students to ensure successful finished pieces ready for glazing and pickup. Booking is available for single classes, private groups, and seasonal sessions. With consistent class structure, experienced instructors, and multiple formats for participation, Stroke of Art offers reliable, memorable creative experiences for learners of all ages. Sessions welcome individuals, couples, families, and students of all skill levels; finished works are glazed, fired, and available for pickup.
