Unison Artist's Soft Pastel

Unison Colour is based in the Northumberland National Park. The business began in the early 1980s, when artist John Hersey found that mass produced, factory made pastels simply did not offer the qualities he was looking for.

The pastels are still completely hand made and retain all the qualities of the originals; they are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths; mixed to John's meticulous recipes resulting in a range of almost 400 colours.
