I see projects that require you to drill holes in terracotta pots. Is there a special technique to do this? What kind of drill bit is needed?

tape the site where you want the hole withe masking tape or painters tape. Mark the tape to be sure you are in the right spot. I use a diamond drill bit. Hope this helps.

I agree with Nikki Stanford. I have never heard of soaking it in water first.

I've read that for pottery, porcelain and other clay items you should use a cement drill bit. Use water to keep it cool as you are drilling.
