If you are making straight cuts, there are tile cutters that score the surface and then snap the tile.
If you will be making any semi circles or cut outs, you will need a wet saw. Also a wet saw is much quicker.

Which is the best resource for ceramic cutting?
The answer here depends on how much ceramic you need to cut. * For small holes in ceramics, a hammer drill (about $80 US) is generally used. * For a few small cuts, edge trims, etc., a rotary tool (Dremel, for example, about $50) with a diamond disk (about $10) is excellent. * To cut a moderate amount of ceramic tiles, a circular saw (about $75) with a diamond wet/dry tile blade (about $30) is adequate. * For a large amount of tile cutting, for example to tile a typical bathroom or kitchen, a wet tile saw with diamond blade and steel guides (about $150) is essential. * To cut really big ceramics, a professional stone finisher / installer should do the job. They can cut to exact sizes, give shapes and edges that make the work attractive, and polish finishes to give the exact look that you want. Shops that work with marble, granite, limestone usually cut all kinds of ceramics, too.
