Understanding Holograms
From Lasers to Light Fields

Above holograms by: (from left to right) Margaret Benyon, Rudie Berkhout, Ana-Maria Nicholson, Sam Moree

All classes are offered at 12 noon EST so that West Coast students can join us at 9 am, East Coast at noon , UK at 5 pm and the rest of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa in the later evening. I do occasionally have students from the Far East, Australia and New Zealand who are committed enough to learning about Holography that they join us during the middle of the night. I will offer the pre-recorded sessions (at the end of each course) at a discounted price if you contact me directly at lindalaw@lindalawholographics.com.

It is a special experience interacting with students from around the world. Through Zoom you will have the opportunity to meet each other and establish individual communication through the Ruzuku messaging system and the bulletin boards where you can share your experiences making holograms.

This course is a precursor to my newly offered courses, "Getting Started Making your own Holograms" and "The Art History of Holography"

With all of my courses, you will find much additional supporting material on the Ruzuku site (when you register) where you will also find recordings of the class sessions shortly after they occur.
