The Grand Tapestry

Canadian Kobold Hugh is a Canadian entrepreneur and maker, best known as the founder of Canadian Kobold Tools & Treasures (CKTT). He created CKTT with the goal of providing high-quality, affordable tools for artists, craftsmen, and hobbyists, ensuring that creators could access reliable tools without excessive costs.

Hugh’s journey began when he noticed a common issue in the creative world—affordable tools often lacked quality, while high-end products were out of reach for many. Frustrated by this disparity, he set out to create a business that prioritized both affordability and functionality. Thus, CKTT was founded to strike a balance between quality and cost-effectiveness.

Unlike mass-market retailers that prioritize profit margins over usability, CKTT focuses on practicality, value, and accessibility. While Hugh does not claim CKTT products to be the absolute best, he ensures that they meet a standard that allows makers to create without compromise. The brand also fosters a community-driven approach, supporting creatives beyond just selling tools.

Hugh maintains an online presence through Canadian Kobold Tools & Treasures, where he shares the brand’s philosophy, product offerings, and creative inspirations. More than just a store, CKTT is envisioned as a gathering place for like-minded individuals passionate about craftsmanship.

Through CKTT, Hugh continues to expand the availability of high-quality tools while upholding the principles of honesty, craftsmanship, and accessibility. His vision is not just about selling products but cultivating a culture where makers of all levels can find the resources and encouragement to hone their craft.
