The Paper Boat Carousel

The Paper Boat Carousel is a heartwarming project that emerged during the pandemic, designed to unite the docklands community in London.

Participants draw paper boats, which become part of a captivating carousel. Powered by a simple DC motor and belt, the carousel symbolizes unity, creativity, and resilience.
