I believe the answer is:

carver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'might sculptor' is the definition.
'carver' can be an answer for 'sculptor' ('carver' can be a synonym of 'sculptor'). I am unsure of the 'might' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carver that I've seen before include "Sharp knife or dining room chair (6)" , "Meat slicer or dining room chair" , "Meat slicer or chair with arms" , "Armchair in dining-room suite" , "Armed dining chair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
