After sixteen years in the restaurant business, Ms. Comey turned her lifelong interest in textile arts into a new career in teaching. Holding an Applied Arts Waldorf Teacher Certification, she has been at LCWS since 2002, after teaching handwork at the Green Mountain Waldorf School for four years. She is also a potter and as a once-professional chef, still loves cooking for pleasure. Though her family roots are in the Boston area, Ms. Comey’s father was a Naval officer and the family moved from coast to coast every two years. She has been through 42 states and has many wonderful memories from traveling across the country. She studied fine arts and art history at the University of Southern Connecticut and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Ms. Comey and her husband have a son, Adrian ’08. They also have two daughters, Nicole and Leandra, living in Texas, and four grandchildren.
