About Figs & Ginger

Figs & Ginger Ring-Making + Elopements

Metalsmith and Officiant/Celebrant

Some couples come to make their wedding rings. Others come to get married somewhere wonderfully unexpected. At Figs & Ginger, you can do either, or both! Tucked inside a historic Providence mill, our working art studio is home to intimate micro weddings, creative elopements, and a whole lot of handmade magic. Our signature Forged in Love experience invites couples to forge their own sterling silver wedding bands before exchanging them at the very bench where they were made. Prefer to skip the hammers? We offer studio ceremonies without ring-making, too! We also offer private wedding band-making workshops and personalized & whimsical wedding officiating throughout Rhode Island and New England, without any making at all.

I'm a metalsmith of over 20 years, a wedding officiant, + lover of all things forest. My studio isn't a traditional wedding venue. It's a real artist's workshop, filled with well-loved tools, handmade treasures, and the wonder of making something together. Each ceremony is written just for you, and every officiating experience includes a custom-engraved ring box and a personalized engraved keepsake. A safe and welcoming space for everyone. Want something simple and traditional? Lovely. A little woodland magic with handmade fairy crowns? I can do that, too. There's plenty of room for romance and a little whimsy no matter what direction you

In three words: Creative, Fun, Whimsical

    i am beyond happy that my partner and i decided to take this class! we heard about it through some friends and had to sign up immediately. rhonda is so sweet and knowledgable and was a joy to hang out and chat with while she guided us through the craft. she provided drinks, snacks, and a welcoming environment, and recommended us tons of cool places to visit in the area (very helpful for some tourists like us). she also took lots of good pictures and videos throughout the process. i could not recommend more. :)

    We came out to RI to celebrate our honeymoon and booked this class to make a cherished and memorable souvenir. We took the silver ring making class and had an amazing time! Rhonda’s class was very informative, well put together, and easy to follow along with. We love our final rings! Rhonda herself is an amazing woman and quickly made us feel comfortable in her studio. She is also a wonderful local guide who gave us tons of food and activity suggestions. (All of which were awesome!)

    We had such an incredible, one-of-a-kind ring-making experience at Figs & Ginger! Rhonda was wonderfully kind, caring, and amazingly patient/understanding, proving to be such a talented teacher throughout the entire creative process. Crafting our own custom pieces under her guidance made for an unforgettable memory, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. Couldn't recommend it more!

Forged in Love is intentionally designed as a private elopement for the couple and two witnesses. Additional guests are not currently accommodated but email just in case.
No. The wedding-band making is reserved for the couple. Witnesses participate through the keepsake making activities. If you'd like to all make rings, just email and we're happy to accommodate.
No previous experience is necessary. Rhonda will guide you through each stage of creating your bands.
