Outdoor Artist/ Maker Opportunity - Wayfinding Wonders Project
We require an artist/ maker to create 16 innovative rest stops using standard oak sleeper benches as a base and features that could adorn, surround, or be attached. This will involve a series of community workshops to develop designs for the artist to produce, or support the community to solely create them, or a mix.
(Benches purchased separately to artist's fee)
The successful artist/ maker will also collaborate with a digital artist. Each rest stop will feature interactive QR code content, whereby the trails will offer multi-experiences in one, e.g., a mental health trail, nature, heritage, and physical activity.
The digital experiences will then be placed on the Cannock Chase Can app, for the public to follow using the rest stops as their way-markers and cross-marketed via www.chaseFit.co.uk.
The creative rest stops will be sited on 2 connecting circular routes on Cannock Chase. Marquis Drive Visitor Centre, Hednesford is central to each route.
Route 1
Marquis Drive Visitor Centre WS12 4PW (Return loop)
8 rest stops
Route 2
Campfield Car Park, Brindley Heath Rd, Hednesford, WS12 4PW onto Toc H trail circular and viewing platform (Found opposite Marquis Drive entrance)
Improvements to trail support disabled access to Cannock Chase.

The artist/ maker will be expected to undertake workshops with residents of Hednesford North and visit such venues as Pye Green Community Centre, Museum of Cannock Chase, Hednesford Primary Schools, and Hednesford Park Pavilion, etc.
They will be expected to walk and visit each route on several occasions with support from staff at Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles.
