Carla Tosta

Carla Tosta was raised amongst needles and sewing machines from a very young age; her family covering generations of tailors and seamstresses. As a teenager, she started doing small repairs and changes to her own clothes and that’s where her passion for upcycling began.

She graduated with a BA in Theatre Interpretation in Brazil but chose to follow a career focussing on Backstage and Front of House roles, rather than on stage. In recent years, Carla has worked as House Manager for the National Theatre and as a Freelance Seamstress for Independent Theatre productions (Darkfield: Coma; La Belle Hélène; Tropicalia Island, etc.) as well as for the Art Department at the VAULT Festival. She also creates bespoke upcycled commissions for private clients.
