How much space do you need?
It's hard to calculate exactly how much space in the kiln your work will take up. try cutting out a piece of paper the size of a kiln shelf (35cm diameter) and see how much of your work you can fit onto it. For a bisque firing, it doesn't matter if the pieces are touching, so you can usually pack more in. In a glaze firing, pieces will need to have at least a 1cm gap between them.​
To calculate how many shelves you can fill in one firing, make sure you take into account the thickness of the shelf (2cm), as well as a 1-2cm gap between the top of your pieces and the next shelf. Generally, I can fit 3 shelves full of small mugs (8-9cm tall).
