Three hours is 180 minutes. 350 beads in that time works out to roughly two minutes per bead. That sounds very do-able (still impressive, but possible) when you're working several on the mandrel at once like Suzanne can do.
She's only heating the mandrel once for every five beads and once the rod is hot and rockin'... It's not like she's heating up the mandrel and rod for one bead, putting that one in the kiln and then going to the next mandrel, heating it up, then heating the rod back up and making the bead and putting that in the kiln and on and on.
