Unison was founded by artist John Hersey who began hand making pastels after finding that many pastels on the market broke easily, were not consistent in their texture and did not offer the vibrance he desired. Nearly a quarter of a million pastels are handmade in the UK at the Unison Colour Headquarters each year, each using Hersey’s original recipes. Using these original recipes results in a soft pastel with smooth texture, high pigmentation and intense colour load. Popular with professionals and amateurs alike, Unison pastels are renowned for being the best on the market.
