Clay Pots :)

[twk1]

Can someone give me some information on how to cut out holes in clay pots without making the pot crack or totally damaging the pot??

Drill holes with a masonry bit and cut sections out with a wet diamond saw blade (ex: tile saw). Don't push the cut. Let the bit/blade do the work. Wet cutting cuts down on damage from heat expanding the material.
