...... Next you will tell us that "clay doesn't really shrink as
it dries"?.....

Ric,

Well, I was thinking about this while enjoying your post, and-
I don't believe the clay shrinks as it dries. The POT shrinks.
The clay compresses as the water evaporates out...

Sorry, couldn't resist that. Even if I'm wrong,
(it has been known to happen before), had to say it.
