Over a decade ago, in the hills of
Northumberland, England, artist John Hersey began hand-making his own pastels.
Gently hand-rolled and air-dried, each stick is as much an
organic sculpture as it is a tool. Look closely at
a stick and you may see the fine lines and
fingerprints imparted by the pastels' creator. Each pastel takes on
the tapered shape of the bowl of the maker's palms.
Hersey's unique color formulations contain only pure pigments in a
cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black
to the colors. The result is intense, vibrant color application
not muddied by the blending of colors. The color range
is sublime overall and at moments astonishing. Unison's pastels contain
very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. Pastels
measure approximately 2-1/8" long × 5/8" diameter (54 mm ×
16 mm). Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.
