# Convoluted Creamers Maria Volokhovas Creates Twisted Ceramic Art for 'Dolci Lacrime' By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-02-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-volokhovas References: [stylinrooms.de](http://www.stylinrooms.de/wohnen/kunst-kultur/news/article//dolci-lacrimimi-von-maria.html) & [stylinrooms.de](http://www.stylinrooms.de/wohnen/kunst-kultur.html) When Maria Volokhovas created the [ceramic art objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttoclay) in 'Dolci Lacrime,' she must have had twisted visions of mangled octopi dancing in her head... or she just likes to put a lot of spouts on her ceramics. The [ceramic art in the collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-ceramic-collections) by Maria Volokhovas is absolutely amazing, but I am wondering how long it would take for the [cream to get to the coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trumpet-coffee). That seems like a pretty rough journey from start to finish for the sweetener. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Twisted Ceramics:** Innovative designers can explore new sculptural expressions in their creations by transforming the structure of ceramics with complex twists and turns to create new shapes and designs. - **Unconventional Drinkware:** Businesses can explore the new trend towards unconventional drinkware that creates a unique user experience by offering different shapes, textures and designs in their cups and saucers. - **Artistic Cream Dispensers:** A new trend in coffee shops where creatively designed cream dispensers can be used to enhance the presentation and aesthetic value of the drink, leading to unique and memorable customer experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ceramics Industry:** The ceramics industry can capitalize on the new trend by investing in new technologies and techniques to create new designs and expand the market of ceramic products. - **Hospitality Industry:** The hospitality industry can leverage the trend towards unconventional drinkware and artistic cream dispensers to create unique and memorable experiences for their customers and differentiate themselves from their competition. - **Art Industry:** The art industry can collaborate with designers to bring the new trend of twisted ceramics to fine art collections, leading to new markets and audiences for ceramic art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Pottery Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project.md) - [Textural Porcelain Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-efrat.md) - [Modern Poertic Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virginia-sin.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Algorithmic Ceramic Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware.md) - [Spiral Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-moka-coffee-pot.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Artful Dynamic Kinetic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-vases.md)
