Artist using lathe? (6)
I believe the answer is:
turner
This clue might be a double definition.
'artist' is the first definition.
(painter JMW Turner)
'lathe?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'using' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turner that I've seen before include "Lathe user" , "J. M. W. -, English eighteenth to nineteenth century painter" , "J. M. W. -, artist" , "Award in honour of great English painter" , "potter" .)
