EDEN MUSE

Is your name Eden?

My name is Jasmine Oakley, but you can call me Eden as well:)

Where is your studio based?

My work is based primarily in Durham NC, but often I come to the Middle Peninsula of Virginia to source a lot of my natural materials. Virginia is also where I am from.

Do you take custom orders?

Yes but you should email me at Jasmineoakley@edensmuse.co, and please understand that custom orders take more time and resources, therefore shall be more expensive.

Are your metals hypoallergenic?

I primarily use copper and other raw metals. If you have sensitivities, feel free to reach out before purchasing.

How do you choose stones for your jewelry?

I listen to the energetic qualities of each stone and allow the material to guide its own form. Every piece is made intuitively and intentionally.

Why do you choose to prioritize copper?

I specialize in copper because it is one of the most conductive metals found in nature. Scientifically, copper efficiently conducts heat and electricity, which is why it has been used for thousands of years in tools, architecture, and medical applications.

From an energetic and spiritual perspective, conductivity matters. Materials that conduct energy well are often associated with balance, circulation, and flow. Many people experience copper as grounding and stabilizing, particularly when worn close to the body.

How should I care for my pottery?

All pottery is safe to wash by hand and in a dishwater, and can also be used in a microwave as well. Specific care notes are included when needed.

What materials do you use?

I work with wild-harvested clays, natural minerals, ash glazes, crystals, and botanicals. Many materials are locally foraged or ethically sourced.

Are your pieces food-safe?

Functional ceramic pieces intended for food use are fired and finished with food-safe surfaces. Items that are decorative or ceremonial are clearly labeled.

I bought a plant with your pot? How do I keep it alive?

Thank you so much for supporting my business. Please consult the guide hand out that should've been included with your pot. And here is a link to my plant care 101

What materials do you use?

Variation is a feature, not a flaw. Natural materials and atmospheric firings create unique surfaces that reflect the living qualities of earth, fire, air, and water. Ceramic surfaces may differ slightly between the naked eye and what is able to be captured via a camera lens.

What inspires your work?

My work is inspired by earth processes, ancestral traditions, and the relationship between humans and the natural world. Each piece is created as a vessel for connection, intention, and stewardship.

Do you forage responsibly?

Yes. I harvest with intention, gratitude, and respect, taking only what is needed and ensuring the land can regenerate.

Where do you source your herbs?

Majority of my herbs I source myself, but when I need something that I don't already have or find, I have close and trusted herbalist that I work with to source the herbs necessary.

What is your background for herbal medicine?

I have a background in biology where I specialized in plant ecology, botany and drug pharmacology. So majority of my herbal practice is backed in scientific studies and research.
