I love Studio Elie! I moved here from NJ last year where I was taking acrylic classes for years. I am so blessed to have found Elie and his art studio. I attend the Monday night class. There are amazing artists of all levels in the class, we have monthly lessons - we are given free license to be creative AND we have fun! In case you were curious you do not have to be an expert level painter - that is why you take classes; Elie will teach you. He is a very talented artist and patient teacher (and a great person). Elie also offers classes for teens and children!

I had an absolutely wonderful time painting, chatting with Elie, and drinking wine. I would highly recommend spending a few hours on a Friday night doing a paint and sip alone or with friends!

I have no painting background and could not even consider doing this, but, after a couple of recommendations, I signed up for a Sip and Sketch. I loved it and signed up for weekly lessons. Am going on my third year, now!

I have no painting background and could not even consider doing this, but started my painting adventure with a snowman at Painting with a Twist (PWAT) in Huntersville, it then led me to Studio Elie (used to be Cafe Elie). Sadly, PWAT closed it's doors on Saturday, December 21st and had a liquidation sale on Sunday, December 22, 2019. It WAS a great place to go. Unfortunately, they closed, as did the one in Mooresville, which leaves fewer choices for painting in the Huntersville/Cornelius/Davidson/Mooresville area. Two months after painting a snowman at PWAT, and based on wonderful reviews from a neighbor and a co-worker - and seeing their paintings - I decided to try a Sip and Sketch at Studio Elie. I loved it and signed up for weekly lessons. Am going on my third year, now, and my neighbor is going on her seventh year! Love, love, love it! And, I, like so many others, NEVER thought I could paint anything and have it look presentable. That is not true. Elie explains things and guides you along. I highly, highly, recommend his studio, if you are looking for a night out with friends and want to have a good time, and if you are looking for on-going lessons. He provides both. You won't be disappointed. It is a local award-winning studio. Studio Elie, is in Cornelius, on Route 115N between Restore and Carolina Cones. So, if you're looking for another place to get your painting groove on -- this IS the place to go! You can sign up for a Sip and Sketch, and/or sign up for weekly lessons, if that is what interests you more. This is a GREAT studio and has offerings for oil, acrylic, watercolor and drawing lessons, and Sip and Sketches, for all ages and proficiency levels. Check out Elie's Studio Elie FB page, and web site. His Sip and Sketch sessions for January are posted. All are on Friday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and are $35.
