#1: Make A Hologram Workshop (students, adults)

This is an introduction to holography workshop for beginners and those wishing to return to holography after a long absence. Working with me, step by step from start to finish, you will make your own museum-quality, display hologram to take home with you (on archival gelatin silver glass plate, not cheap film). I have been running this workshop for nearly thirty years. It's also a great way to complete a science fair project, since I already have everything that is needed right here and ready to go. Bring your camera and document the entire process.

At my private home studio: (Allentown, PA)
Any morning, afternoon or evening, except Sundays
(1.5 hour)
Based on my availability.
Call 610-770-0341

One person: $185 + $10 material fee w/ one hologram.
Two people: $285 + $20 material fee w/ two holograms.

#2: Holographic Light Workshop (students, adults)

This is my most recently-designed workshop, and was selected as part of the Smithsonian Institution's summer arts & sciences program for 2011 (and is invited back for 2012). It combines physics, optics, light, history, holograms, science, technology and creativity. For those that wish more information, there is a separate web page dedicated to describing all that it entails.
