Produce a detailed written description of a gloomy scene inside of a medieval tannery with skins, vats, and hides.
assistant
A tanner's shop emits a pungent odor of ammonia and other, less palatable odors. Flayed hides, scraped clean of hair, are lashed to wooden stretchers and set to dry. The tanner's apprentices work around open vats in the courtyard beside the building, soaking fresh skins in noxious solutions of ammonia and salts or dying tanned leather to order for a customer.
