{ Online Store Updated! }
Just in time for the gift-giving season, we have updated our online shop with all of the (shippable) treasures we have in our store!
This is super good news for our excellent out-of-towner customers. If you have visited our shop or follow us on Instagram and have wondered, "How to I acquire these magnificent natural science specimens?" Or, '"How do I convince my loved ones to buy gifts for me from Oracle when they are not able to visit the shop in person or are not into walking into a natural science/curiosity/taxidermy/skull/animal remains store to buy gifts for me?" Well, we have got you covered!
So, if you are unable to visit our store on West 18th Street in the Crossroads District of KCMO, then please avail yourself of our updated online shop! <<<<<---- (LOOK! LOOK AT IT WITH YOUR EYEBALLS, WITNESS THE SPLENDOR!)

{ BUTTERFLIES 101 - THIS SATURDAY! }
BUTTERFLY FRAMING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 10, 4-6PM & 17, 5-6PM
80.00
Our butterfly framing class is broken up into two dates, the first of which will introduce you to the basics of spreading and preserving your own butterfly specimen! We provide two butterflies, a lovely wooden frame with glass for presentation, as well as all of the tools required - just bring yourself! Professional instruction and hands-on demonstrations for re-hydrating, posing and preserving your butterfly will be provided during the first class installment. One week later, we meet again to learn framing and display techniques for your butterfly and you leave the class with a specimen that your spread, posed and framed yourself!
The first class will meet at Oracle KC, Saturday October 10 from 4-6pm. Our second workshop installment will meet at the same location, Saturday October 17 from 5-6pm. Oracle KC is located in the Crossroads Art District, 130 West 18th Street, KCMO 64108.
Instructors:
Carrie Parker (Potions Master and Spiritual Yoda)
Alessandra Dzuba (Bone and Butterfly Wizard, Noted Veela)
