They do organise workshops (both online and at the store) and crops. But always on Saturdays, when it's the busiest day at our store so not a possibility for me. At the moment they don't have anything planned involving a die cast machine. I'll ask if there is someone who can give me a private tutoring session when I buy the machine.
Scrapbooking isn't a well known hobby in the Netherlands. But I think it's a good hobby for me, I've always tried to be creative with photo albums, adding other things (ticket stubs, leaflets, etc). It is all a bit overwhelming for me, all the products, tools and techniques. I think the biggest challenge starting is not to want to do too much with all the things you've just discovered but keep it simple.
