===Guitar Craft=== [[File:Claymont Court Front Entrance.jpg|thumb|The first Guitar Craft course began 25 March 1985 at the [[Claymont Court]] site in [[Charles Town, West Virginia]].<ref>{{harvtxt|Tamm|2003|p=[http://www.progressiveears.com/frippbook/ch10.htm 127]}}</ref>]] {{Main|Guitar Craft}} Fripp was offered a teaching position at the American Society for Continuous Education (ASCE) at Claymont Court in [[Charles Town, West Virginia]] in 1984. He had been involved with the ASCE since 1978, eventually serving on its board of directors, and had long been considering the idea of teaching guitar through ideas derived from Bennett and Gurdjieff. His course, Guitar Craft, was begun in 1985, an offshoot of which was a performance group, "the League of Crafty Guitarists", which has released several albums. In 1986, he released the first of two collaborations with his wife, [[Toyah Willcox]]. The members of the [[California Guitar Trio]] are former members of The League of Crafty Guitarists and have also toured with King Crimson.
