Had an AP on Monday so I couldn't attend class this week, but I did meet briefly with Jocelyn. She suggested I make some bigger stuff, which I agreed with as nothing broke during the first firing, so I've made five more slightly larger but not colossal pieces so far this week. Making really big stuff is really hard. So right now I have thirty pieces all fired (the bisque kiln came out yesterday with my last ten, none of which broke) ranging from 1 1/2 to about 7 inches in height, and I'd put the ones I've made this week at closer to 10 inches - of course, they'll shrink during firing. Ten of the thirty are pit-fired and ready to go, although I've decided that only six of them are good enough to go in the show. The remaining twenty-five are hopefully mostly getting fired on Friday, if the weather continues fine. I should be able to do a large number at one go because a lot of them are so tiny. It still might not be all 25, but we'll see.
