John Hersey an artist and co-founder of the Unison Pastels workshop has died this week at his home in Thorneyburn, Tarset.
The pastels are some of the best to be had worldwide, handmade and using a special recipe John Hersey created. As an artist he was looking for great crayons and decided to make them himself when he could not find what he wanted for his own work. His wife Kate Hersey will continue the operation out of the converted stable in their back garden, and the pastels go all over the world. A friend of mine, Terry in NYC, uses and loves them!
