Who is a "tanner"?
A tanner is a skilled worker who turns animal skins into leather. They clean and soak the raw skins using various chemicals and methods to make the leather durable and flexible for products like clothing, shoes, bags, and furniture. The tanning process involves removing hair and fat from the skins, then applying substances to keep the material strong. Tanners must understand different methods and materials to produce high quality leather. They typically work in tanneries, where they perform the entire process of turning animal skins into leather.
