In Paris she accepts call ultimately for skilled workman (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enameller

'skilled workman' is the definition.
(someone who enamels things)

'in paris she accepts call ultimately for' is the wordplay.
'in paris she' becomes 'elle' ('she' in French).
'accepts' is an insertion indicator.
'call' becomes 'name' (as in calling or naming someone something).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'for' is 'r'.
'elle' placed around 'name' is 'enamelle'.
'enamelle'+'r'='ENAMELLER'

(Other definitions for enameller that I've seen before include "One decorating with glassy coatings" , "Craftsman" , "Decorative artist" , "Who lacquers" , "One applying vitrified coating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
