How many types of ceramic glazes are available?

What are the recipes for these ceramic glazes?

• I want to make three different glazes but I don't know and couldn't find the recipes. The types of glazes I want to make are chocolate, lava, a silk white. I also need the glazes to be lead free. Because the place I am firing my stuff at can't fire anything with lead in it. Do you know you know the recipes for the three glazes I want to make? Please and thank you!
