CELEBRITIES helped launch a new art club for children.

Former glamour model Linda Lusardi was joined by TV presenter Jeff Brazier at The Craft Cabin in Station Road, Chingford, on Saturday (March 31).

Club mascot Crafty Bear entertained the children, who enjoyed a variety of activities.

Gaynor Nelson, one of the club's directors, said: “It went brilliantly, we were packed out all day and now with the Easter holidays we have been since then.

“We’ve always needed something like this round here, that’s what inspired us to set it up.

It’s just a nice family outing really.”

The club does not yet have a website but is on Twitter and Facebook as The Craft Cabin E4.
