Frank uses the laser cutter to make patterns, vinyl prints t-shirts, and creates rehab equipment
Frank’s background in the textile and design industry inspired him to use the sewing and embroidery machines at Tūranga and South Libraries. He has used the laser cutter to cut patterns for glasses cases and vinyl printed t-shirts among other projects.
Three years ago, Frank had a haemorrhagic stroke which resulted in the loss of movement on his left side. As his rehabilitation progressed, Frank has used his skills to create rehab equipment at the library with the help and support of staff.
Frank's vision for the makerspace is to create a community of people who can collaborate and enhance their skills and knowledge.

The Ferriers use laser and vinyl cutting at Tūranga
When Denisse and Daniela needed support with launching their business Furniture | Le Ferrier design, they came to Tūranga. They prototyped some designs, trialled laser and vinyl cutting their branding onto wood and other materials, and also made some team tshirts.
