One of the most popular ongoing projects that WCAD has been involved
in has been THE PAPERBOATS.

MAKE A PAPERBOAT WITH A MESSAGE OF HOPE IN IT

http://www.communiversity.org.uk/WCADpaperboats2009.htm
Our modern twist on this ancient craft has continued to develop and last year saw an exhibition at The Three Harbours Arts Festival, where a further 2000 paperboats were produced.
We now now have a small touring exhibition of this growing project which is at present at Castleview Primary School, Craigmillar for this years WCAD.

Here are some great examples of PAPERBOATS
