“Having done 4 workshops with Melanie, I am now a devotee of dyeing to add colour and texture to fabric. The colours of the dyes and the methods of applying the dye to fabric produce stunning effects. I can now dye fabric to make garments for myself, mix my own personal shades of dye and embellish garments using lino prints, and I know my garments are totally unique. I am a devoted fabric painter but the addition of dyeing to my painting “arsenal” has only added to my creative instincts. Melanie is a major inspiration to anyone who has leanings towards fabric and colour.” Glynis Jones.
“I had a wonderful time with you and I learnt so much. It was great learning from someone with a common interest and I would love to work with you again.:) My pants came out beautifully!! I'm so impressed with the quality and vibrancy of your dyes.” Alice Slabolepsky.
“Thanks again for the wonderful hands-on launch last night. I couldn't sleep, I floated on a cloud for hours once I got home. So fantastic to do something real instead of being chained to a desk producing nothing.” Sue Turner.
The event was awesome, thanks for introducing me to the world of tie dye-I had to do it to properly understand what it was all about.” Adam Franklin, Accountant

Training
"The CDP Trust Arts and Culture expresses our enormous appreciation to Slipstream facilitator Melanie Brummer for the intensive fabric dyeing and printing training workshop delivered October 08 for the CDP Inner City Womens Group. Not only is the work produced of the very highest quality, but the creative inventiveness of the processes and products the women experienced holds value for them far beyond the primary aim of products for income generation. The experience was life-changing and the sense of self-worth and excitement at the discovery of their own creative abilities enormous. This is due to the magic of making so skillfully facilitated, but equally due to the deeply empathic engagement by Melanie to the women and her dedicated commitment to them. Her sincerity and integrity with this group of women who are in severely vulnerable situations is most valued." Charlotte Schaer
“LOVED the learning of how colour starts to liven up!! FENOMINAAL!!!” Corrie van der Merwe
“It was an absolute pleasure having you at Oakfileds.The students were really inspired.” Natasha Jaume, Fashion Lecturer at Oakfields College
I had a full report from the group. You know what, they are so excited about your class. They are also going to assist the other colleagues with the book. We are going to call management to view the CD. Thanks ever so much for everything. If there is anything we will talk but it will be next year in the new financial year. Thank you once more Melanie. I realy appreciate what you did for my group. I am sorry I did not manage to come for the class. They told me I have missed a lot. But next time I will be coming. My kindest regards. Grace Mere, Mmabana Arts & Culture
“On behalf of the women in our networking group, I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to you for sharing your amazing gift and talent with us this afternoon. You are so passionate about what you do and you gave with love, from the heart and with total sincerity and commitment. Thank you for giving of your time and energy so generously, to expose us all to your very special craft. We certainly all had a WOW moment and we all loved every minute of our interaction with you. They were all so excited and I could see some very active minds processing everything afterwards and hopefully they will take what they learnt back to their organisations and communities. I wish you so much success with your amazing initiative, product and business and may you be so blessed to do what you do and to reach out as you have done.” Ilana Friedman, Magical Moments
“Please accept my belated THANKS!! for what you have shared with our guys. They will never let go of the skill you gave them. Many thanx for the book and the DVD - you are one in a million people, people do not want to share the skills they have with anybody! Ever!! You have a golden heart. We are going to utilize it a lot, with rural projects. We are building a factory in the rural areas of Mthatha - E.Cape, that will house 110 employees. The newly acquired skill is going to help. Tembinkosi and Kodjo are 2 very happy men! You are the best.” Vuyokazi Bodlani, Sithemane Women’s Networked Enterprise
