English artist John Hersey began hand-making his own pastels over a decade ago. Gently hand-rolled and air-dried, each stick contains only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours. Pastels measure approximately 2-1/8-inch-long × 5/8-inch-diameter (54 mm × 16 mm). Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.
