[Clayart] Hole in the bottom of a bowl on a potter's wheel

[wschran at twc.com]

This may have been from when the clay was attached to the wheel head or bat.
The shape of the bottom of the clay may have had a small depression or void from wedging.
Have the bottom of the clay that will be attached to wheel head curved to avoid this.

I make a bowl 28-30 cm, and when I remove it from the wheel, there are no
air bubbles, there is no hole at the bottom. But when the bowl dries, the
hole forms from the outside downwards in the center. Where the bottom
touched the wheel. Not cross-cutting
As if the clay in this place was more wet and sat down more.
When I cut the bottom, I removed this hole. But I do not understand why
this is happening?

many thanks
