I believe the answer is:

stereotype

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

'standard model' is the definition.
'stereotype' can be an answer for 'model' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'standard' bit.

'potter's eye retrained' is the wordplay.
'retrained' indicates an anagram (train can mean to shape or direct a plant).
'potters'+'eye'='potterseye'
'potterseye' with letters rearranged gives 'STEREOTYPE'.

'to produce' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stereotype that I've seen before include "Image to which people are expected to conform" , "Stock image" , "Pigeonhole" , "received idea?" , "Widely held fixed image or idea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
