Crossword Genius

Skilled worker from Hobart is a natural (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artisan

'skilled worker' is the definition.
(artisan is a kind of skilled worker)

'from hobart is a natural' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ARTISAN' is hidden within 'hobart is a natural'.

(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Skilled workman" , "Skilled craftsperson" , "Handy worker" , "Skilled worker by hand" , "man with skill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
