Meet Jo-Anne Warren, owner of Amaranth Stoneware in Kingston, Ontario. She creates many clever things with clay in a variety of genres.
Jo-Anne named her business after the Amaranth plant which is a cosmopolitan genus of herbs, offering high quality natural goodness. This all encompassing plant provides dye, paper, nutritional rich grain and vegetable, as well as unfading beautiful blooms. Amaranth is a unique, varied and valuable plant that is so hardy it is deemed never to wither or fade.
All of Jo-Anne's products are made from stoneware clay that has been fired to over 2000 degree F. The result is a hardy, elegant product that maintains its beauty in ice, snow, or the intense heat of the sun, without cracking or fading.
All materials used in their products are lead-free, safe and natural with FDA approval on any item that comes in contact with skin or food.
She also prides herself on being environmentally conscious. "You don't get any more natural than clay!" She reuses packaging materials, recycled paper and alternative paper products when available.
You can find select styles of Jo-Anne's goodies in our seasonal, kitchen and dog & cat sections of our website... plus more styles at our Berkley & Rochester locations.
