Colors Of The Stone Winter

The 'Colors Of The Stone Winter' event is a premier gathering for artisans and designers, taking place at the luxurious Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona. This unique event showcases a diverse array of independent artisans, traditional designers, studio artists, and small production handcrafters, all selected for their outstanding artistic ability and exceptional design.

Featured exhibitors include gem cutters, goldsmiths, jewel smiths, lapidaries, and bead makers, totaling around 1000 established wholesale companies. They offer true wholesale pricing on a wide range of supplies that include jewelry making materials, beads, metals, leather, cords, wire, clay, findings, gemstones, and tools for various crafts. This event serves as an essential wholesale source for designers and tradespeople, including jewelry makers, metal workers, bead stores, craft stores, and art galleries.

In addition to the exhibition, 'Colors Of The Stone Winter' offers an extensive Artisan Workshops program, featuring 500 handcraft and design workshops taught by artisans-in-residence. These workshops are designed for all skill levels and encourage participants to explore both contemporary and traditional skills in subjects such as bead making, jewelry design, hand knotting, metal clay, wirework, crystal setting, enameling, and mixed media.

The event is open to the public, with some exhibitors providing wholesale pricing to registered wholesale buyers. The Casino Del Sol, with its expansive Convention Center and architectural beauty modeled after a late 19th-century Tuscan village, provides an ideal backdrop for this dynamic event, which has attracted thousands of artisans and tradespeople from over 50 countries.

As the event continues to grow in attendance, it promises to be a significant business opportunity for all involved.
