The Dakota Woodturners sponsor a Hands-on Woodturning Symposium each year in April.   The symposium consists of a Friday evening introduction of the guest demonstrators followed by two hands-on sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday morning.  In each session the demonstrator develops a project, stopping along the way to provide individual instruction to the participants.  By the end of each session the participant will have a learned all of the procedures necessary to complete the demonstration project and hopefully a number of new turning techniques.
