Learn How to create holograms with us
The International School of Holography offers online courses in Holography to students all over the world. Course instructors are leading holographic artists each with their own fields of specialty. Join us for a unique opportunity to learn with the best instructors in the field and begin your own carear making holograms.
What We Offer
Our introductory course "Understanding Holograms" (taught by Linda Law) is designed to introduce you to the spectrum of possibilities for creating holographic images. From there you can choose from a range of courses that will instruct you in the foundational practices of the type of hologram you wish to create.

Using AI to create content for holograms.
​
Dates for this course will be announced in January
Instructor - Linda Law
​
​
AI is evolving at a lightning-fast rate. New techniques for generating 3D images are opening up pathways for creating holographic images. Join Linda as she explores the new directions you can take from 2D - 3D conversion to making models via 3D printing using real world 2D images, to Gaussian Splats and Neural Radiance fields and the different kinds of displays they can be seen on.
Explore the next stages of holographic Image development and the ways we can work creatively with them.
Make Your Own Hologram Workshop
Until recently, these workshops were offered at the HoloCenter's facility in Kingston, NY. The HoloCenter's gallery is on the move to Florida, and its new location in Melbourne at the Rayvell Holographics new headquarters. However, the HoloCenter Educational programs for underserved students is staying in Kingston. When we are settled in our new teaching facility these hands-on workshops for adults will restart. Until then - watch this space.

Built for Creatives, by Creatives
The evolving dimensional medium of Holography is at a new phase of development as we build on the existing optical holography technology and move forward into moving, full-color, immersive Digital Holographic Displays. Join us to be on the cutting edge of new developments as this medium enters a new era.
​
​Courses at The International School of Holography are being taught by artists with long histories in this medium as well as young innovators breaking new ground. Holography is evolving.

Christine Remy, Santa Fe
I can’t recommend highly enough the course Understanding Holograms, taught by Linda Law.
Linda is able to break down and articulate in an understandable way the most complex and advanced technological ideas and innovations. She is aware of the next evolution of the holographic process and intelligently explains processes and capabilities of each new direction in this field. Linda also presents new breakthroughs in areas of virtual reality, 360 photography, cameras, etc. in a thorough and easy to follow curriculum.
Taking a class from Linda immediately puts you in the forefront of what is happening in the art and science area of breakthrough technologies. Linda presents these new innovations in a way
that is comprehensive, fun and intelligent. From there she encourages all of us to make our own breakthroughs and follow through with whatever catches our interest. A must for artists, computer and video artists and anyone interested in what is presently coming down the
technological pike!

”Great opportunity to learn about the history of holograms from someone with extensive first hand experience. Her course and guests have inspired me to continue on and try it out for myself. Highly recommend.”

I am a multimedia artist from Romania. I discovered holography unexpectedly a few years ago, when reading about the beginning of colour photography (ironic, isn't it?). Since then I've struggled to learn how to work with this incredible technology. I've even had the chance to collaborate with a passionate scientist in this endeavour. But none of my try-outs have helped me crystallise the history, practice and implications of holography as artistic medium as much as Linda's 'Understanding holograms' course! Everything just naturally and logically came together. I loved her openness to the possibilities of this medium, beyond it's technical boundaries. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in what holography is about, all the way to those who know about it, have tried it but need guidance in how far holography can go (and, after attending the course, I realised that we are far from knowing how far it can actually reach as art medium!).

Ronald Rawitt - New York
Linda' Law's course, "Understanding Holograms," was a fascinating overview of the history of holograms given by someone with extensive knowledge and experience in the art and science of holography. Bringing together artists and scientists currently working in the field, and class participants from all over the world, the course was a great way to start a journey into holograms.

The class is quite valuable for someone with huge interest like me to step into the realm of holograms. Linda has profound knowledge not only in various techniques, but the history of hologram developments. As an online class, it’s a great opportunity to get to know other talented students with different backgrounds from various parts of the world. It’s a great class I feel lucky to participate!
Looking forwards to the two new classes in the near future!

Katherine Hoskins,
"Understanding Holograms" is a fascinating and unique course. Clear, comprehensive, and insightful, Linda Law brings extensive experience in the field of holography to her teaching. I would recommend this highly engaging class to anyone who is interested in the history, technology, applications, and future of holography.
