Despite manufacturing over half a million individual sticks a year, the pastels are still entirely handmade and retain all the qualities of the originals. Look closely and see the fine lines and fingerprints of the pastels' creator. They are mixed into meticulous recipes based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earth.

Unison Handmade Pastels are available in various combinations of Unison Handmade Pastel Sets. Each Unison Handmade Pastel Set is packaged with each pastel cradled and protected by foam. Unison Handmade Pastels measure approximately 2-1/8" long × 5/8" diameter (54 mm × 16 mm). Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.
