I believe the answer is:

potter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'expert in ceramics' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'snooker?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for potter that I've seen before include "Person who throws and moulds clay" , "wizard > snooker player" , "Pootle" , "One throws and moulds clay" , "Creator of ceramics" .)
