Christina Maki, a professional photographer, began her apprenticeship with Alessandra Dzuba (aka Bone Wizard) in October 2015. Her apprenticeship began with a daunting project - to assist Alessandra as she sorted and articulated the bones of a 16ft long python.

This guy was NO JOKE. But lookie how beautiful it is!

Luckily for us, the project known as Operation Basilisk did not deter Christina, who has since moved on to working on several projects for Oracle, including - but not limited to - her very own articulated Badger!

We don't list a fondness for Harry Potter or a tolerance for salty language among our prerequisites here at Oracle, but we are delighted when lovely people such as Christina come our way and we are lucky to have her in our little coven!

Oracle is offering some really fantastic workshops over the next couple of months and we want to give y'all a heads up about it first because they fill up fast! Signing up for them is super easy now too - all of our classes are found at our online shop and you can register for them here. If you are curious about what we offer month to month, check out our events page here and see what we have in store for you!

We love education here at Oracle and we aim to promote an appreciation for natural science and visual art. Our classes provide professional instruction and high quality materials so that our customers achieve new skills - and get to leave the shop with a custom piece of their very own!

We also like FUN TIMES and will be hosting scheduled numerology happy hours and tarot readings each month, so we encourage you to come join our excellent community of weirdos!
