Crossword Genius

I'm recast amazingly as Potter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ceramist

'potter' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'i'm recast amazingly' is the wordplay.
'amazingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'im'+'recast'='imrecast'
'imrecast' with letters rearranged gives 'CERAMIST'.

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for ceramist that I've seen is " Potter".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
