One-Day Middle School Art Workshop in Downtown Orlando: Pottery, Painting & Mixed-Media

At Stroke Of Art, a compact creative studio at 805 W Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32805, USA, the city's middle-schoolers spend a summer day turning curiosity into objects you can hold. The 2026 Summer Art Camp: 1 Day Workshop Camp (Middle School) condenses a week’s worth of discovery into a focused three-hour session where pottery wheel throwing, clay hand-building, painting and mixed-media collide in a lively, hands-on schedule. Instructors guide each student through step-by-step demonstrations, but they also leave room for individual expression—so pieces range from practical mugs and bowls to sculptural experiments and layered canvases.

This program stands out because it compresses breadth without sacrificing depth: each workshop rotates themes and materials so campers touch multiple mediums. The studio emphasizes tactile learning—wet clay on fingers, the centrifugal rhythm of a wheel, the slow drying of layered paint—so students learn processes as well as finished techniques. That approach makes the workshop a strong complement to Orlando’s broader youth arts offerings: it’s compact enough for families with busy summer schedules yet robust enough to spark ongoing interest.

Practical details matter. The class runs three hours; campers should bring lunch and water to stay energized. Due to limited seating and a strict all-sales-final policy, early registration is recommended; if you need specifics about that week’s projects or accommodation for skill levels, call the studio at 407-900-7501. The studio provides materials and instruction; campers leave with finished or in-progress pieces to kiln or finish depending on the project.

What to expect on arrival: a bright worktable area for painting and mixed media, a dedicated wheel station with supervised throwing, and shelving where finished pieces dry. Key features include wheel throwing, hand-building, canvas painting, and mixed-media collage. While this is an indoor art experience rather than a nature outing, it contributes to Orlando’s creative ecosystem by offering hands-on arts education for young residents and visitors alike.

Parents and caregivers will appreciate the balance of structure and play: clear demonstrations, patient guidance, and projects that build confidence rapidly. Whether your child is new to clay or already loves art, the workshop provides an efficient, inspiring introduction to many forms in a single afternoon. Reserve early, bring a full lunch, and plan to leave with a new piece of art and a spark that may lead to more studio time.

Campers also learn studio etiquette—cleaning stations, safe kiln handling, and sharing tools—which builds practical skills for continued art classes. The studio sometimes displays standout pieces in a small rotating exhibit, giving students a tangible sense of accomplishment and visitors a glimpse of local youth creativity. For questions about age group specifics, project themes, or accessibility, contact the studio directly at 407-900-7501 before booking. Spaces fill quickly.
