"Tanner: A Journey Through Time and Trades" Step into the world of Tanner, a name that echoes through history in various contexts. From art to hospitality, from farming to leather craftsmanship, this name holds stories waiting to be unveiled. In 1898, Henry Ossawa Tanner mesmerized the art world with his masterpiece "The Annunciation. " With meticulous brushstrokes and an ethereal atmosphere, Tanner captured the divine moment when Mary received news of her sacred destiny. His talent shone bright as he became known as one of the greatest African-American artists of his time. Tanner's artistic prowess extended beyond religious themes. In "TANNER: THE SAVIOUR, " he depicted a savior figure on wood using oil paints. The piece exuded spiritual depth and left viewers pondering its meaning long after they had left the gallery walls. Venturing into different realms, we find Tanners Hatch Hostel nestled amidst nature's embrace. This tranquil retreat offers respite for weary travelers seeking solace in Surrey's countryside. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in idyllic landscapes while forging connections with fellow adventurers. Traveling back to Upperton in August 1936 brings us face-to-face with three country gentlemen engrossed in conversation within a farmyard setting. Their animated exchange reveals their shared passion for rural life and perhaps even secrets passed down through generations. Nearby stands another scene frozen in time - two country gentlemen engaged in lively chatter by a well. As water flows freely from its depths, so do stories exchanged between these friends who have witnessed life unfold against Sussex's backdrop throughout the years. Across continents lies Georgia - Tbilisi - where we encounter a tanner and fur hatter perfecting their craft. With skilled hands and unwavering dedication, they transform raw materials into exquisite garments that warm both body and soul during harsh winters or festive celebrations alike. KETTs OAK stands tall, a testament to nature's resilience and the enduring spirit of craftsmanship.
