Abstract
This workshop will show how the structure of polyhedra can be used to divide the surface of eggs before they are made into pysanky, an ancient artform from Ukraine. Workshop participants will learn how to divide an egg using octahedron, cuboctahedron, disdyakisdodecahedron, dodecahedron, and icosidodecahedron principles for spherical solids, and how to adjust for an egg being non-spherical.
