This week we will paint plumbing fixtures. What are examples of a plumbing fixture? Permanently installed device connected to the plumbing system designed to deliver water (like faucets, showerheads, toilets, fire hydrants, water fountains.)
Why plumbing fixtures? Painting them invites us to notice the beauty in function, utility, and the art in everyday life. Celebrate the quiet infrastructure that supports daily life.
