Here's The Peter Holland Story As Told By Others:
The main aim of Peter Holland with this website can be summed up in these few words: "My aim is to encourage people to enjoy the creative satisfaction involved in clay sculpture and also to give collectors a unique window into the china industry". Peter Holland

What other's are saying:
Roger Green. Production Manager Royal Worcester, England. "Having worked at Royal Worcester for thirty five years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest sculptors and craftsmen in the world. When Peter modeled the first Celtic Princess (Tara) it revolutionized the style of china figurines. A new era had begun. In addition to that, Peter's model ‘Forty Winks’, in my opinion is the finest figure Royal Worcester has produced in a long time, and one to collect, as I have! I managed to get a pre-production copy in a unique color (a privilege of the job). Peter is a sculptor at the pinnacle of his profession. The movement, bone structure and grace of his models are second to none. He rates with the very best". |
Tamara Petty, Sculptor, California, USA. "A lot of successful sculptors don't want to give the time of day to a newcomer. Peter was different. I was so excited to have such a world class sculptor email me. Okay, I was a little star struck. Then, his regular emails continued helping me step by step. His encouragement helped me keep practicing to get better. Some of his technical advice still rings in my ears as I sculpt my current work. I'm grateful to him. He's a great guy and artist". |
"My wife's favourite piece of art: your "Cherish" sculpture". Peter Frazer
Mary Shaw, Artist and Gallery Owner"There is something about the way Peter Holland works a bronze nude that pairs down the essence of what it is to be human. Beautiful young women in their prime, yet not perfect. Pensive yet confident at the same time. As people, we all have a duality about us - that's what makes us the frail monsters that we are!" |
Peter Holland - Career BiographyBefore going into the world of ceramic sculpture as a professional, Peter worked with retailers Jaeger and Liberty of London, England in sales management and buying. At the same time, making time to pursue his interest in clay sculpture, Peter's sculpting talents were first formally recognized during an exhibition of his work at the Royal Miniature Society in 1993. The maximum of five sculptures were accepted by the RMS. It seems a big step from this first small success to switch careers to a sector in which he had no background and no formal training. However, Peter was prepared to follow his instinct - that small voice in the dark - to wherever it might lead. The tale of how he was eventually commissioned by the likes of Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Coalport and Royal Doulton to produce work for them is a story in its own right.
