Tanner

Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather. A tannery is the place where the skins are processed.
  • Tanning hide into leather involves a process which permanently alters the protein structure of skin, making it more durable and less susceptible to decomposition, and also possibly coloring it.
  • Before tanning, the skins are dehaired, degreased, desalted and soaked in water over a period of six hours to two days.
