I wouldn't let the sculpt dry completely. We like to call it "Leather hard". They will be hard enough to cast but not bone dry and brittle. Yes, you are correct, you could pour a bunch of mugs and clean them up. Let them dry and keep them in a safe place until you are ready to fire. After they are bisque fired, you'll need to keep them in a dust free environment to avoid any glazing issues. Good luck! Shared kilns can be scary because you never know what others are firing along with yours. Glazes can put off all sorts of fumes that can discolor or fog up your glazes. Just hope your neighbors art doesn't explode and ruin your mugs. Good luck! -TikiRob
