David Winter (born 1958 in Catterick, Yorkshire, England[1]) is an English sculptor known for collectible miniature buildings.
[2] Winter made his first cottage in 1979 with John Hine, and soon expanded.
Originally sold for around £10, many became much more valuable as their popularity grew.
[2] The cottages were popular in the United States, where a David Winter Cottages Collectors Guild had 200,000 members in the early 1990s.
[3] In 2007, one newspaper reported that while collectibles were not as valuable as in the past, David Winter Cottages were still valuable.
