The Process
Terry Ludwig Pastels are all handmade. Learn about our process.
Mixing
We carefully mix our high-quality pigments and binders to create the perfect pastel paste. This is where the magic begins!
Squishing
Our signature 'squishing' technique shapes the paste into unique rectangular forms. After that, they’re left to dry, with drying times varying by color
Sanding
Each pastel is hand-sanded by our talented team to ensure smooth edges and a perfect finish—ready for your creative touch.
Boxing
With patience and care, our team member hand-packs each pastel order and set, ready to inspire. Every box holds the same passion and dedication we put into making them.
