RE: Inside the Drawing Phase of a Mosaic Commission
What a wonderful design. When planning the size do you have to allow for shrinkage of the clay, or does it not make much difference?

Thank you @opheliafu, yes shrinkage has to be accounted for. Different kinds of clay have different percentages and we further enlarge the drawing for this percentage, and also trim specifiic shapes/pieces that will be tricky to fit together after firing.
