Fifteen years ago Prizm entered into an exclusive agreement to produce Pipka's Santas in three dimensional figurines. Pipka's santas took off like a skyrocket! With just five Santas the first year, the line has grown to include full-size, medium, miniature, and ornament-size Santas of all types. Pipka, European-born of German and Slovak parents, is an extremely talented painter with a studio in Door County, Wisconsin. She draws from her background and meticulous research to create her wonderful Santas.
