Four-Hour High School Art Workshop in Orlando — Pottery, Painting & Mixed Media

High School Summer Workshop at Stroke Of Art is a concentrated, hands-on studio session for teens who want to push their creative limits. Located at 805 W Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32805, USA, this four-hour program folds pottery wheel throwing, clay hand-building, painting, mixed-media collage, and decorative ceramics into one upbeat afternoon of making. Step inside the studio and you’ll find a pragmatic setup: rows of pottery wheels, worktables for painting and collage, shelves of tools and glazes, and a kiln that anchors the back room. Each class centers on a different project so returning students keep learning new techniques instead of repeating the same lesson. Instructors guide students through both functional work — mugs, bowls, tiles — and expressive pieces such as textured canvases and mixed-media sculptures, offering technique demonstrations before letting individual styles emerge. What makes this workshop special in Orlando’s recreation mix is its cross-disciplinary approach. Rather than focusing on a single medium, it treats ceramics, painting, and mixed media as complementary skills. For teens, that variety reduces frustration and keeps attention high: someone who tires of wheel work can pivot to painting, or add collage elements to a ceramic plaque. The studio’s pace encourages risk-taking while keeping projects achievable within a four-hour block. Logistics are straightforward: bring lunch and water and be prepared to get messy — aprons and smocks are recommended. Note the studio’s booking policy: all sales are final; missed sessions are non-refundable unless the studio cancels. That policy keeps class sizes predictable and ensures instructors can concentrate on teaching. For specific project schedules and age guidance, contact the studio at 407-900-7501. Beyond the immediate benefits of skill-building and social connection, this workshop plugs students into Orlando’s larger creative scene. It’s a practical pick for families visiting downtown who want an indoor activity with a tangible takeaway — students leave with one or more handmade objects and a clearer sense of craft processes. The studio’s focus on experimentation, confidence, and craft vocabulary makes it a productive stop for rising artists. Whether you’re planning a summer break activity for a teenager, looking for a creative single-day camp, or supplementing ongoing lessons, this four-hour workshop is a compact, instructive dose of studio time in central Orlando. Early registration is recommended because sessions fill quickly and credits or makeup sessions are not available. Students often report leaving with both a finished piece and a new confidence in problem-solving; instructors emphasize safe tool use, glazing basics, and how to translate a sketch into three-dimensional form. The workshop can be an excellent jump-start for teens considering advanced classes or portfolio pieces, and the low-pressure group setting makes it easy to experiment without judgement. Reservations are recommended well in advance.
