Kip Thorne has a book dedicated to the idea of space-time wormholes. I forgot the name of it but he doesn't have a lot of books, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. He suggests using a type of material that is only created at the event horizon of a black hole, and is responsible for Hawking radiation. I forget the name of the material too (something like bizarre matter?), but it's sort of like negative matter (not anti-matter). Black holes evaporate because negative matter and positive matter is created at a black holes's event horizon. The positive matter escapes, and the negative matter falls into the black hole, reducing its mass. Creating a stable warp in space-time would require this stuff, according to Kip Thorne.

I have had to place my Thinking Cap on my head to reply to this question, and it took me a while to locate it amidst the junk in my Astronomy room.
It is entirely possible to bend space time right now, right this minute.
Step 1. What you need to do is carefully divide time into two parts: Real Time and Space Time. This used to be rather hard to do because real time and space time looked almost the same. However, recent developments in painting have allowed us to forensically mark time using a flat black spray paint in order to distinguish Space from Real time. Spray only the Space Time, and do not permit any of the spray to get onto Real Time. Allow the Real Time to escape and perform its normal functions. Then capture all of the remaining Space Time inside of a large Type 316 Stainless Steel Containment Vessel. When the containment vessel is about 90 percent full connect vacuum pumps to it and pump out all the air inside to create as much of a vacuum as possible. Fill the remaining voids with more Space Time until the vessel is entirely full.
Step 2. Move the Containment Vessel to a working steel smelting furnace and heat it to 2850 Degrees F. At that temperature the stainless steel vessel should become molten and it may be rolled flat with all the Space Time squashed inside. This process must include an edge folding sequence which will seal all of the sheet the edges and permit you to save time. If you save time, you reduce costs.
Step 3. Next, slide the flat sheet of material over to a rolling machine and pass the flat sheet into the machine and roll the sheet up into a nice drum shaped package. Bent Space Time will be contained within the rolled package.

Space and time are bent by mass. You have mass. therefore you can bend space and time, imperceptibly (even if you weigh over 300 pounds!).

Under the general theory of relativity, the only places where this would happen is near the singularity of a black hole.
Or when approaching the speed of light.
