Hersey’s pastels delivered excellent colour and texture, and in 1987 he decided to offer his product to fellow pastallists. Production of Unison Pastels began in the Hersey home in the old coach buildings of Thorneyburn Rectory, while the top bedroom was used for packing and storage.
UNISON SOFT PASTELS PROFESSIONAL
Over time Hersey developed a professional quality pastel that matched his colour vision and had a lovely buttery texture – it was the Unison pastel that we know and love today! These were qualities that his work relied on, so he began to make his own. Shop bought pastels he could source had a tendency to break and did not deliver vibrant colour or consistent quality. Unison Colour was founded by artist John Hersey after finding that most commercially available pastels did not offer the quality or texture of pastel that he required. Unison Soft Pastels are popular with artists of all abilities due to their quality,versatility and ease of use. Nearly quarter of a million pastels are made at their headquarters every year by a small team who are dedicated to ensuring that Unison pastels remain the best soft pastel on the market. Since then the fells, hills, forests and trees have influenced Unison’s colour range. In fact it was the clarity of light and subtlety of colour in Northumberland that led Unison’s founder, John Hersey to move there with his family. The Unison Colour Headquarters are nestled in the heart of the Northumberland National Park – an environment that has helped to inspire the production of many beautiful shades of pastel. Loved by amateurs and professionals alike, these versatile pastels can easily be blended and are considered to be the finest on the market.
They are made to Hersey’s original recipes – carefully calculated and formulated to guarantee high pigment load, vibrant colour and a smooth buttery texture. Unison Soft Pastels are a professional quality pastel, handmade in the UK using the finest materials.
