Ivelisse Pabón de Landrón
She taught the process of Puerto Rican doll-making to Amanda Mercado in the Southern New England Traditional Arts Program in 2012-2013. Ivelisse taught Amanda the entire process of doll-making, from the cultural background to design to selection of materials, shaping the body, embroidering or painting the face and dressing the doll in jibaro clothes. The experience was very useful to Amanda in her career as a social worker with a strong interest in art therapy. Their curriculum/teaching plan is in the institutional archive. Ivelisse also created a PowerPoint presentation that she presented at their final exhibition at the Mi Casa community educational center on Park St. in Hartford.
