Carefully move large item in studio (5)
I believe the answer is:
easel
'item in studio' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'carefully move large' is the wordplay.
'carefully move' becomes 'ease' (easing is a kind of moving. I am not sure about the 'carefully' bit.).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'ease'+'l'='EASEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Support for 12's [ARTIST]" , "Artist's prop" , "Painter's tripod" , "Tripod supporting a canvas" , "stand for creativity" .)
