The Duwamish and Upper Puyallup ancestors were the first caretakers of the Puget Sound region. Like Muckleshoot Tribal members today, they lived in the area that is now Seattle as well as communities throughout the Duwamish River drainage. They welcome you to their traditional homeland.

At the height of his career, Dante Marioni is a world-renowned glass artist whose mastery of Venetian techniques has made him a legend in the studio. But at 60, a series of personal and physical setbacks—including the loss of his friend and mentor, a debilitating arm injury, and the departure of his trusted assistant after 30 years—bring his work to a pause.
Being Centered follows Marioni as he confronts loss, reinvents his process, and fights to return to the furnace. What unfolds is not just a comeback, but a powerful transformation—an artist rediscovering purpose and proving that even after everything fractures, the fire can still burn.
