A sort of craftsman – English, wild one (8)
I believe the answer is:
engraver
'a sort of craftsman' is the definition.
(engraver is a kind of craftsperson)
'english wild one' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'wild one' becomes 'raver'.
'eng'+'raver'='ENGRAVER'
(Other definitions for engraver that I've seen before include "One cutting a design" , "Craftsman carving a design" , "Artist working on stone etc" , "Design cutter" , "who produces incisive letters" .)
