MCBA offers select book arts workshops for preschoolers, ages 2–6, and their adult caregivers. In these workshops, preschoolers grow their interest in books and visual arts and feel pride as they engage in artmaking in a book arts studio regularly accessed by working artists. Ellen Ferrari leads these workshops and designed the curriculum to meet preschoolers where they are both developmentally and with their interests in mind.
