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. Gift Idea — A variety
of special combination Unison sets are available. See Unison Handmade
Pastel Sets for pictures and more detailed specifications of these
sets. No Minimum Order — Many of our pastel lines
require a minimum order of 6 pastels, however Unison pastels
can be ordered individually.
