Cathy returned to Texas in 2004 which was the beginning of a new adventure. On a whim, she decided to take a ceramics class at the local community college and loved it! In fact, she enjoyed it so much she encouraged her daughter, Carie, to take the class as well. After a few years of working and creating with clay, Crain Art Studio was born. Now, over 20 years later, their work can be found in several better galleries in the U.S.A.
