Films featuring La Maison du Pastel
Over the last few years, La Maison du Pastel has been invited to participate in a number of documentaries, TV series, and internet features, either as the principal subject, or in relation to artists having used Roché pastels. A few of these film clips are presented here, to take you a little further into the world of Roché pastels.Business Insider: Still Standing 12 mai 2024
Henri Roché pastels are highly coveted for their particular texture, ability to adhere to most mediums, and intensity of colors. For over 300 years, La Maison du Pastel has handcrafted these pastels, used by artists like Degas. Today, the company is run and operated by just two women — Isabelle Roché, a distant relative of Henri Roché, and Margaret Zayer. But it's taken them decades of work since Isabelle took over the dying company in 2000 to build it back up to where it is today. We visited their secret workshop in the French countryside to see how La Maison du Pastel is still standing.
