To Bead True Blue

At Colors of the Stone, we believe that the allure of artisanal crafts is not just about the beauty of the finished product, but also about the artisanal process itself. That's why we're committed to showcasing the widest range of artisan handcraft found anywhere. Our bi-annual events, held twice a year in February and September at the luxurious Casino Del Sol Resort & Convention Center in Tucson, Arizona, bring together the best of the best in the industry, featuring over 1000 exhibits, galleries, and workshops in the winter event and 500 in the fall event.

A World of Artisanal Delights

From gem cutters and gold smiths to bead makers and jewelry artists, our events feature a diverse array of artisans, each with their unique story to tell. Whether you're a professional designer or a hobbyist, you'll find inspiration in the incredible array of handcrafted goods on display. With over 38 countries represented, our event is a true celebration of global craftsmanship.

Artisan Workshops: Learn from the Masters

One of the unique aspects of Colors of the Stone is our Artisan Workshops program. These hands-on classes, taught by artisans-in-residence, focus on traditional small-scale production studio skills that have been overlooked in favor of mass production. Whether you're interested in bead making, jewelry design, wirework, art metal clay, hand knotting, or one of the many other subjects available, our workshops are designed to help you develop your skills and explore your creativity.

A Warm Welcome

At Colors of the Stone, we're committed to providing a welcoming and entertaining experience for all attendees. Our events feature ample show parking, free admission, and a diverse range of activities and entertainment options. With a wide range of exhibitors, from established artists to emerging talents, you'll find something to delight your senses and inspire your creativity.
