Fun!
I've taken a few classes now, and Uncommon Goods has a knack for finding great instructors!  Ashlee has such a lively, upbeat personality. She was engaging and fun. I'm a big experimenter when it comes to recipes, so I loved that she continuously encouraged us to go off the script and add whatever appealed to us as we created our pickles. 
The tasting portion was a fun experiment, yet my favorite part of class was the pickle making. I'd have been happy to stay on for an extra 15 minutes of class to allow for a more relaxed pace.  
The ingredient/pre-instructions are thorough, but here's a heads-up for my fellow tortoises:  I would add to get your ingredients chopped before class starts. This may not be necessary for everyone, but I'm recovering from a hand injury and missed some of Ashlee's instructions while I battled my hand to get things chopped as we went along.  I wish I had set myself up better.  If you have any movement/dexterity issues or just prefer to move slower, do yourself a favor by chopping up your cucumbers, onions, garlic, etc, just before joining the class. Ashlee was so warm and likable that I would have preferred to give her my full attention!
I apologize that I don't recall our moderator's name, but I'd like to add that she was enormously helpful in typing out instructions as we went along!  
Overall, so fun!!  I tried my pickles this morning, and they're delicious. I'm definitely making more.  Ashlee clearly has a passion for cooking, so if UG adds more from her I'll purchase without hesitation!
