From my experience I assume your using a clay like a natural clay, which is whyyou need the kiln... in which case there are actually other options that your art teacher may not have told you (my art teacher told me about this on the very last piece that I made in her class, it was an alien kinda guy with a gino pet thing) but for future reference, probably every day that you work on your piece when you finish up you wrap it in wet paper and put it in a plastic bag to keep the clay moist and sculptable the next day, but when you are ready to fire your sculpture and you don't want to fill it with too many holes or anything (some spots can be thick and delicate of course, so you don't want to hollow them out) you should put your piece somewhere safe, and have nothing on it. No wet paper, no plastic bag. Let it sit there for a while... I forget what amount of time is safe... but before you fire it it should seem pretty hard just from air drying. Then when you put it in the kilm there is less of a possibility of air bubbles forming inside of it, which is what causes these things to explode. Also of course kneading your clay a lot before sculpting helps too. I used to spend a lot of time smashing my blocks of clay into a mat on the ground to get all the loose air out. As for clay you didn't need a kiln for I use sculpley.... it can be cooked in a normal oven/toaster oven, just remember you don't use water to smooth the stuff, you use sculpley diluent (and yes I've tried fimo too, I prefer sculpley). Air drying clay that I've tried is a brand called DAS I think... but I can't give an honest review of it because I haven't used it all that much, I'm more used to sculpley than anything else.
