Crossword Genius

Skilled worker from Hobart is annoying (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artisan

'skilled worker' is the definition.
(artisan is a kind of skilled worker)

'from hobart is annoying' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARTISAN' is hidden within 'hobart is annoying'.

(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Smith" , "man with skill" , "Crafty sort" , "Journeyman" , "Skilled workman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
