Whitby Goth Weekend is a sanctuary for craft, subculture, and the dark arts. In the first of our two part special, I meet three creators who are defining the modern gothic aesthetic.

In this episode:

1. Josh (Art of Arklin): How ancient Norse and Greek mythology became a premium streetwear brand.
2. Satu (DF Creations): The "Apocalyptic Eco-Punk" jewelry made from upcycled bike parts.
3. Dave (Alex Henry): The haunting process behind mixed-media raven and skeleton sculptures.
