In a world where creative professions often seem elusive and impenetrable, Raw Material supports young and aspiring artists in taking the next step towards a creative career.

Raw makes it possible for everyone in the community to discover the life-changing benefits that come with leading a creative life. In the words of one of our participants, "I arrived at Raw Material as an isolated, fearful and shy person, but today I see that with music anything is possible."

In The Mix is an ongoing series of creative-feedback sessions for works-in-progress. We were amazingly fortunate in the last session to have been joined by the one-and-only Cesca Ivaldi AKA Lil C, and to have an attending young artist, Alex Bird, write his own commentary on the session.
