In addition to our usual list of classes PASTE is excited to announce a new addition, Wine Tasting…Craft Making. Because who doesn’t like wine and crafts? We are thrilled to offer you a wine tasting hosted by STL Wine Girl who has been featured in Sauce Magazine, St. Louis Magazine and other local publications for her outstanding wine knowledge. If you left it up to me the class would go something like this “Here’s your white, here’s your red. Wine is Yummy!” Thankfully, STL Wine Girl will be here sharing her wine knowledge and Holly of South City Studio will join us to show you how to make super cute wire wrapped painted wine glasses. I think it goes without saying this class is going to fill up quickly so grab your girlfriends and call 314- 577-6930 to reserve your spot! October 22nd from 7pm-9pm

Class Cost is $30 and includes supplies. All you need to bring is your body!

Needle Felting~ Wool Roving

Paste is super excited to stock needle felting supplies! We’ve been told finding needle felting supplies in St. Louis is like looking for that dang old needle in the haystack! So, We’ve stocked up. We have over thirty colors of wool roving and more on the way! We also offer a variety of 100% wool felt. We are also super excited to offer needle felting classes.

What is needle felting you ask?

Needle felting is a process which uses barbed needles to interlock wool fibers to form a more condensed material. Wool fibers have scales which when rubbed against each other catch and lock into place to create this denser material called felt. Felting needles are used to entangle the fibers. As the felting needle is moved up and down, the barbs on the needles catch the scales of the wool and entangle them into place.

In other words you can make super cute stuff like this:
