Protest about craftsmen (7)

I believe the answer is:

potters

'craftsmen' is the definition.
(potter is a kind of craftsman)

'protest about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'protest' with letters rearranged gives 'POTTERS'.

(Another definition for potters that I've seen is " Dawdles; clay workers".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
