Utility knife

Plastic “zip” bags

You may wish to bring a work light and extension cord as hotel lighting isn’t always the best for Miniaturing.

Bring a camera to take pictures of instructor samples and special setups/tools used. Modern phones usually have good cameras in them. 

ALWAYS ask permission first before taking a photo of the Tutors work.
