Schmincke’s finest extra-soft pastels, Made in Germany contain only the purest medium ground pigments. They keep the binding agent amount small, to ensure a stable compound. To guarantee the highest quality Schmincke manufactures the pastels using a special recipe that avoids the use of machinery. ‘Worm extruders’ form the pre-kneaded dough into round skeins, which are then detached by hand and cut in a wire-strung frame. The damp sticks have to dry for around eight days before they can be labeled and packed by hand. This is a costly and time-consuming process; but, it is the only way to guarantee the quality and smoothness of each color. You can rest assured that your favorite color shade is consistent in its color and lay down.
