Langholm Made is a new creative project by artists Deirdre Nelson and Emma Dove
As part of the wider ‘Making Connections’ project run by Upland, Langholm Made seeks to explore and celebrate ‘making’ past and present in Langholm - a town with a rich textile history and vibrant in contemporary and domestic craft and making.
For Langholm Made, maker Deirdre Nelson is interested in exploring and celebrating making in Langholm in its widest sense. Alongside Deirdre, artist and filmmaker Emma Dove will be collecting stories and memories of the weaving industry in Langholm through a series of recorded conversations.
As a final outcome to this project Deidre will be making an artwork which will take inspiration from your making, as well as stories gathered through Emma’s recordings. We hope to exhibit the artwork in Langholm later in the year.
