Sigrid Synnergren

After spending 10 years in Finland as principal of the Åbo Weaving and Sewing School, she returned to Sweden to head the Friends of Handicraft branch in Växjö where she produced textiles for churches in Småland.

In 1939, together with Maja Andersson Wirde, she established the company Södra Sveriges Kyrkliga Textil for which she ran the Lund studio until 1967.

For her works displayed at the 1929 Barcelona World Fair, she won a silver medal.

She created her own chasubles and antepedia while designing patterns for the team of embroiderers employed by the firm as it expanded in 1940s.

The firm's embroidered works were of a particularly high quality, always using fine materials, including silk threads with strands of silver and gold.
