If you need hole cutters for terracotta then our kits work really well.

Had a tile on exhibition stand and formed perfect holes although it does tend to turn the water blood red with colour after....

You can either use traditional sealing as in boiled linseed oil and then bri wax or you can go with newer synthetic sealers...

Bentens tile sealer is the best sealer for terracotta and may be can be purchased from Elon, brush the tiles clean with a soft hand brush then apply the sealer in an even coat using a rad roller allow this to dry then give them another coat at 90 degrees to the first coat of sealer, third and final coat will give a long lasting seal which you will not have maintenance issues with as you do with many of the traditional sealers used on terracotta, i have used this so many times on the elon saltillo terracotta tiles and swear by it
good luck
